The HappiCraft--The Restaurant Boat
Sompal de Unhappi talks...
My name is Sompal. They call me Sompal de Unhappi. That is because of my
looks. Looks are deceptive; and I am a very happy person. That is why I am here.
What is your relationship with the HappiCraft?
I work in the HappiCraft, the 5-star restaurant boat that ferries people to the
Happyraj. It is my responsibility to see that all the travellers who come on board are
looked after well; and I should make them happy. That is my job.
How do you do it?
When you board the HappiCraft you are a privileged guest of King Happyraj, and
you are entitled to royal treatment. Your food and drinks are absolutely free. We
have a limited number of beds, in case you decide to rest during the 10-hour
journey.
Normally we leave at 8.00 in the night and the guests seep in earlier. From the time
they enter, they are served with drinks of their own choice. We have a very good
collection of good wines. We normally have a good stock of all the popular brands.
A buffet dinner is ready by 9:30 and you can enjoy good quality foods until 5:00 in
the morning. I take special care to see that all the requirements of the guests are
met, subject of course, to the limitations of international law. I must mention that the
ladies are a pampered lot on the HappiCraft.
You say you are a happy person. Do you think majority of the people who board
your ship are happy?
My personal observation is that all those who board the HappiCraft are on a voyage
of discovery—in search of happiness. That is why they go to the Happyraj. The first
leg of the voyage is on the HappiCraft. When they board the vessel, they are
beaming with great expectations. But during the ten hours they spend on board, all
of them are alike. That is the human nature.
On board the HappiCraft, food and drinks are free, and, they normally consume
more liquor and food, than their systems could bear. This results in the guests
being very tired and unhappy when they leave the vessel. Some of them need
special assistance to disembark.
There are two dance floors with three bands, and there is live music non-stop till
the morning. Those who engage in dancing to digest the food and drinks they take
in excess, appear to be very tired in the morning when the craft docks at the ports in
the Happyraj.
My general observation is that no body can achieve happiness by eating, drinking or
dancing in excess of what their bodies can withstand. There is sorrow , suffering
and sickness when you pass the red line.
I think, happiness is within your reach if you are doing everything in moderation.
What do you recommend?
The golden rule is the golden mean. That was what the early Greek philosophers
said. That is moderation. The life is such a complex thing. What ever you do now
will reflect on your happiness levels either today or tomorrow. Therefore what you
have to do is to select among the opportunities, what will reduce your suffering in
the long run, Today is important.
One thing you have to remember. That is, whatever the monies you make, the
assets you collect, you will have to leave it behind, when your period ends.
One thing is very clear. It is absolutely necessary that you should draw your
boundary lines very clearly, as to what you can do and how much. This is true in
respect of every human activity whether it is eating, playing, entertainment, making
money or even sex.
While you are young, your expectations and aspirations are very high.
You are more bent on activity levels. But when you pass your middle age, you are
getting ready to look back at your success and failures.
May you be happy!
