In a cozy morning setting in Manali, the author reflects on the power of objects to evoke memories and tell stories. She prepares tea using a beautiful teapot gifted by her daughters, accompanied by a quilted tea cozy that reminds her of family gatherings and home-baked treats. This cozy symbolizes the warmth of her grandmother's kitchen and the rich memories associated with it. The author draws parallels to her 'Storytelling in Business' class, where students share their favorite objects, revealing how busy lives often overlook the past. She references Neil MacGregor's 'A History of the World in 100 Objects' and conversations with notable figures like Salman Rushdie, who also cherish personal items. As she contemplates which three objects would represent her life, she invites readers to reflect on their own meaningful possessions and the stories they hold.
