Tom was sitting in his office. He was feeling down in the dungeons due to all the things going on in his life. He has too many obligations and too many things going on in parallel. He was watching Tony, who shares the cabin with him. Tony was playing with the pendulum in his office. Tom was worried about one of his Client to whom he was not able to devote enough time. Soon the bugs in software will cross over the threshold limit where they can become unmanageable. He was holding his head in his hands. Just then the Tony jumped in between all his worries. Tony asked him about why is he so worried and Tom explained his predicament. Tom is a 45 years year old bald and heavy guy, who always seem to be worried all the time. While Tony is a young kid on the block guy, with no care in the world and always in the playful mood. Although there is huge age difference, its Tony that always gets Tom out of the blues, cheers him up and resolves out all his worries with a solution.
After hearing Tom, Tony asked him, what does he wants to do in life. The answer was to build his own firm. "So let it slip a little. We had always managed to get back on track. Client is not that much worried. We are worried. And the company wont care. Look Rajni our new hire is all pumped up and she has shown great promise. Trust her she will take care of it. Just keep on communicating well with the Client and don't delve in code by self. Let juniors code. You know right communication accomplishes much more then what work can. You should concentrate on your new firm." With that he picked up Tom from his Desk, took his laptop and played "Stayin Alive" on his laptop. They both enjoyed a good amount of swinging on the song afterwards. Tony was the lifesaver for Tom. His friend, his ally, his psychiatrist, his solution-er. He always admired Tony. After 3 minutes he sat back to his chair, but Tony kept playing the song in repeat mode and kept on dancing. Tom watched all his steps in admiration. Although he is much more then double the Tony's age, he is always helped by Tony because he has tendency of going down every other time. Their friendship has lasted for decades. When Tom ex-girlfriend left him. it was Tony who helped him cope out of it. He took him out from the blue, indulged him in new pursuits, helped him get back on with work and life.
Being with Tony is probably the best thing that happens in Tom life. And he is just fearful if a day may come when he and Tony may have to separate or If tony leaves him or if Tony dies. How will he cope with the situation. It meant an end to his world, crisis, an apocalypse.
Sitting in his chair he was wondering if he can be himself like Tony. To become Tony, has been the wish of Tom since past many years. He wanted to live carefree, no worries and all solutions, a kids attitude, just like of Tony. He had been praying for past many weeks in church and the only wish he had been asking was to become Tony. And then just with the flick of a flash "IT HAPPENED". Tony was sitting on Toms chair. Their was no one else in the room.
Two guys were passing by the cabin. One guy asked who is that. The other explained - Don't you know him, he is Tom. The first one told, that some people call him Tony. To that the second one replied "Tony was his childhood name".
