Aafat and his friends

Aafat is my 3 week old calla lily who takes great pride in himself and his name. You do know that it stands for 'trouble' in Urdu right? Please make sure you pronounce his name correctly - he doesn't like it when people get it wrong.

Aafat is a bit moody these days. How do I know? He's getting slightly yellow around the edges and sometimes fights with the papers, pens, books, tea cups and the laptop on my desk to get some serious attention. Ac and I were a bit worried last week as we didn't want him to make himself ill. So we placed him by the window and now talk to him constantly. He seems to like this as he's getting his colour back.

Aafat also has some nice friends in the office, which helps. Eric, Ac's calla lily is his best buddy. We believe they gossip about us girls when we step out to get some tea. Aafat also finds Moufa rather interesting - surely you know Moufa? Ca's cactus? Ca decided that he needed to be named after how that particular day was turning out for her - Moufa I believe is 'not quite right' in Greek.

As we celebrated the end of the first mammoth review cycle with champagne and laughter, Aafat, Eric and Moufa too went a bit tipsy over shots of unadulterated water. Talk about demanding attention and getting it!
