Be Happy Now

Enjoying the gentle sea breeze, lying in a hammock Tenali's friend wore a dreamy broad smile on his face.

Tenali: Why are you smiling all by yourself?

Friend: I am thinking of the day when I will be truly happy.

Tenali: When is that?

Friend: When I can have a house of my own, a comfortable car, a healthy bank balance, get married to a pretty girl, have four sons, get them educated so that they get a good job, earn a lot of money and ...

Tenali(Interrupting): I get the picture, but what will you do after all that?

Friend: Then I can simply put up my feet and relax and enjoy the gentle breeze and the sun on my face.

Tenali: But my friend, you are doing that now, without having all these things.
