Some while ago, i wrote how I am madly deeply in love with shoes(click here to read).
Now, if there is thing that rivals(or equals) that love, it's got to be Mugs.
I love mugs, it's one piece of crockery I am deeply , madly in love....I prefer to use them instead of cups, glasses or even bowls ..my love for mugs has reached gargantuan proportions, so much so that the husband calls me the 'mug-o-maniac' (hence also the name of this post!!).
Here are some (yes some!!) of my lovely mugs :
1. Marilyn Monroe Mug - This was love at first sight!! When I saw it a gift shop, I just could not help falling in love and picking this up...it was my office workstation mug for a long time...now it's used at home.
2. Che Guvera Mug - I went back to that gift shop some days later to find this one...a perfect pairing mug for the husband, I thought and picked it.(on the aside though, just think of Marilyn Monroe and Che Guvera being a couple!!!!)
3. The Boss Mug - Sadly, my maid broke it while washing..but memories remain!! Loved this mug too much and used it in office for a long time.....with obvious amused glances from co-workers!!
4. Twin Color Mug(Dilli Haat) - Love the twin color of this mug, it's actually a set of 6 mugs
5. Kargil War Victory Mug - A patriotic mug, picked it on a army fair to commemorate the Kargil War Victory.
6.Glass Mug - This was a gift and I dont like it much...but featured here coz it's the husband's favorite(of all mugs!!!). He prefers having his tea in this one of all the cool mugs we got!!!
7. The Wife Mug - The husband gifted this to me after a domestic tiff..he thought it best way to appease me ( knowing my love for mugs!) But i really appreciate his picking out this one.
8. Say Cheese Mug - I love this cheesy ' Say Cheese' Mug. it's quite big in size, holds much more liquid than even a standard size glass..and therefore perfect for my energy drinks.
9. Earthy Mug - Loved this earthy mug on display at a Sri Lankan stall in Dilli Haat. Love the rugged texture of this mug.
10. Gurmukhi Chai Mug - This is a beauty, the pic doesn't do justice to it!! The wording you see on the front says 'Tea' (or Chai ) in Gurmukhi Script. Bought this from punjabi heritage shop called '1469'.
11. Autowallah Mug - This is my current office use mug, called autowallah Mug..coz it's got a funny depiction of a typical indian autowallah(or what is popularly known as tuk tuk). This Mug is bought from Chumbak, which makes some really quirky stuff. btw, what does my workstation tell you about me(love travelling..yes yes and yes!!)
SO, here's my Mug-o-mania laid out for you guys....while I love all my mugs(one can't have a favorite among babies!!), You can have a favorite and vote for your most loved one.

What a great collection of mugs! I also like having a unique collection of mugs...all the rest of my plates, glasses, bowls are in matching sets but I like mugs to be eclectic. Right now I'm sipping tea from my chicken mug.

This is a very nice collection of mugs. My son gave me a mug for my birthday. It says MOM on it and when it gets hot the mom says I love you. Thank you for coming by.
Oh nice! What a fun collection :) I voted for the Earthy mug..but I love the Say Cheese and the Chumbak mug to. Chumbak maugs are sooooo fun, Sally and I each have one and I love mugs too. Have a whole mix and match bunch...I hate matching mugs!
I love mugs too , my favourite is a very fine china one where I have my morning tea.
Yours are gorgeous, too.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Very cool mugs I voted for the earthy one. Just bought the coolest mug from Henri bendel and love it.
Thank you for visiting my blog.

while it is a wild idea to pair che n monroe; the autowalllah is always a wild man/ especially in his known gulleys:)
You have a great mug collection! My favorite is the earthy mug!

Great collection of mugs and how funny the Marilyn and Che ones match so well! I also love the wife mug (and how smart is your husband to have gotten that for you!)
xoxo,

Unique collection!
Great collection of mugs Sushmita! It would be nice if you could probably let me know where you get such mugs. The Che Guevara and Marilyn Monroe mug are my favourites. I too wish to buy such mugs.
You are easily swayed.
It would be neat to have a mug that said nothing except at the bottom of the inside read " hope you liked me".
Just a thought
Now that you have published photos of so many, I suddenly think it is a cool thing to have so many mugs!
Loved your blog..it's fun reading :-)
Even i didn't like the glass and steel mug of all these gorgeous ones, i am also a hoarder when it comes to mugs, bowls and a few more things :-)
Loved your sari posts too, you look gorgeous in them.
Even I love mugs and I have 3 from your collection. Although, the archies one is for my husband...
Wow. That's quite a wonderful mug collection -such wide & varied designs
I love cute little mugs! It's kindof an obsession haha there's so many different fun kinds out there! I voted for the first one though because Im a fan of Maryln Monroe art :)
new post!The House of Shoes
They're all so cool. I used to collect mugs but once I got married and moved to another continent, I had to give them away!!! I need to start a new collection now.
Is this Punjabi Heritage Shop located in Delhi?
@purba - yes, located in Janpath ..those rows of shops at the front
Great Collection,Sush...I never knew mug-collecting could be such a nice, colourful hobby.:)Which is your favourite for tea, btw?
Wow....you've got a cool collection dear!! Specially love the wife one & the Che Guevara one! (I love all anything with Che on it) :)

Thats quite an intrinsic collection...with a load like that, beware, do not get 'mugg'ed.

Great selection. My favourite ones are the Royal Commemorative ones that I like to drink from.
Oh God, I am as much a mug collection freak as you are. My hubby is scared every time he sees mugs anywhere. Love all those mugs & I agree how can you have a favorite amongst your babies.
Had to go with Marilyn!
Very nice mugs, I collect a few mugs too! My favorite of course has to be the first one with Marilyn Monroe!
Lovely collection.
