Travel mugs (travellers best companions) generally employ thermal insulation properties for transporting hot or cold liquids. Mugs designed for usage when driving are called auto mugs or commuter mugs, as they enable users to enjoy a beverage while driving. Travel mugs have a spill-proof lid with a sipping opening and in many cases, a narrower base, so that they will fit into the cup-holders that are built into many vehicles. Additional criteria for evaluating auto mugs include: they must be easy to open single-handedly (to prevent distractions while driving), include a fill line (to prevent over-filling, which contributes to leaking), preferably have no handles (no-handled mugs are easier to grab while driving), should not obstruct a driver's view of the road when he or she is drinking, and - with regard to cup-holders be able to fit, stably, into a wide range of mug holders.
Nandi is the name for the bull which serves as the mount of the god Shiva and as the gatekeeper of Shiva and godess Parvati. It is believed that whispering your prayers in the Nandi's ears will reach Shiva and some people do close one ear and whisper into the other, as they don't want the wish to leave through the other ear.
