At home or at work, we all have our own personal mug for coffee or tea. It's something that matches our preferred size and design, or it might be a mug given by someone we like. For me, I prefer a mug that's different from others, so nobody takes my cup for their tea or coffee.
My friend Tuheen once said she never buys her own coffee mug. It should be a gift from someone else. She has bought mugs to give to others but not for herself. She is now a successful entrepreneur in Bangladesh.
I like her idea, but I had to buy my own mug. When someone’s mug breaks, I always get a different design for that person. Just try not to match with anyone else in the room.
So, whenever I get a mug from any corporate advertisement or gift, I keep it. My current mug might break, and then I will need another one with a unique design.
The last mug I received is from my dad. He is no longer with us. May Allah grant him and us Jannah.
