Coffee cup

My coffee cup is in the color of coffee. It is a "Chumbak" brand and a sticker on it says "Handcrafted with love". It is about 10 cms talk I would say. It has an imprint of a branch with leaves and three white flowers. The stamens are red with red colored pollen. Four white petals are floating in the air next to the branch. Each of these petals have a red dot at the narrow edge, implying that the petals of the flower emerge from a red growth. The cup has vague horizontal lines running across its curved surface. When my cup is brimming with super hot, bubbly coffee, I pretend to ignore the weight of this massive cup in order to enjoy the steaming brew.

 


 

My cup outshadows my white water/juice drinking cup which has imprints of many birds, flowers, grass and leaves. Without a shadow of doubt, my coffee mug is far simpler in design. I love my coffee breaks.

Do You Want to Know About My Stray Cat and Her Kittens?

     Did you know that there are 91 lakh street cats in India? (Src: India Today ) “ The population of pet cats in India amounted to nearly two million in the year 2018 and the population was forecast to reach approximately two and a half million by the end of year 2023 .”, as per Statista.com.

My mother-in-law used to feed the mother cat and Kitty with milk, rice, and curd. One day, she came back with a bit of her ear nipped off. Maybe she had gotten in a fight. After a few months, my daughter and I tried calling her from my terrace. My daug...

This Is the Dream I Had When I Woke up Today Morning

                    I am living on the first floor of a bungalow, with the stairs opening into my living room. The room has a double-seater sofa and two single-seaters. The sofa covers are made of cream and brown threads in a checked pattern. The frame of the sofa is dark brown in color.                       The living room floor is covered with light brown wooden tiles. The room is quite large and so a part of it is used as the dining area. This area has a circular glass table that serves as the dining table. The dining table chairs are black and silver in color, with black seats.                     An enclosed shelf consisting mostly of books is a part of the dining area. The wooden shelf also holds souvenirs from the countries I have lived in. The upper section consists of adult books, while the lowe...

The Cat

 There once lived a cat called Kitty.    She used to spend her time in the night under a warm carpet in the terrace of a home of some nice people. She loved that spot because she felt protected and safe. The terrace had unpainted rough walls. So this was where she scratched her back. You know cats can't reach their backs with their paws or tongue. So this was Kitty's option when she felt like a good massage at the end of a day of roaming. The terrace had a few nice potted plants. She wondered if the owner of the home would mind if she pawed some of the plants. But for now, she was happy with the arrangement.                               During the day, she usually set out to meet her friends in the local area. They used to meet in a common place not far off. There was Crackly, with a number of orange spots on her fur. Then there was Tickly, who was always happy. Tintiny was the one ...
