Sorry for the late reply Manav, didn't see your question until now.

1. The cup is quite small, it's an espresso cup. I tried also with a bigger cup (like for tea) but the droplets and splashes were just too small when compared to it.
2. Again, the trick is to use a small cup, so that everything looks big :-) I was also using a 25mm macro tube along with the 200mm lens, so that I could focus from much nearer and fill the frame. About the droplets' shape, honestly I'm not sure... they just came out that way. Probably due to the shape of the small "funnel" from where the droplets were falling.

Hope this helps!
