Autobiography Of A Coffee Mug

Before taking another sip of coffee, please take a deep breath; as you're going to read a short autobiography of mine!..I'm a coffee mug!

There is a proverb: 'Morning shows the day.' I really don't know how much it is true; especially during this pandemic.

Fear has united the world. But, I, being a coffee mug, like to share much love for my home, for everybody.

Yes, my home, my shelf, where I'm placed every day after I'm washed. You may be wondered, how a coffee mug can write a story of itself. I was brought home by my dearest friend Tina; and, she was only ten years old then. She just kept me as a showpiece for the past five years. Now she has turned into fifteen !..Somehow suddenly, I was remembered by her. Now, every morning, she sips coffee, with a comfort, after the coffee is poured into me. Tina's every morning unfolds with me. When she grabs the handle of mine with very gentle care, I feel her joy and innocence. It is quite painstaking when I'm washed with soap. Yet, I'm getting old. May be won't be loved so much as I was before. Yesterday, Tina was asking her mom, "Mom, I'll buy a new coffee mug. However, I'll keep the old one as the memento of Darjeeling from where I've bought.."

The mug she was holding, has come long away and so am I.
