He had left the girl he loved on a trivial and unrealistic pretext. He turned to alcohol to find solace. He ruined his career. Being very honest and disillusioned, he could not compromise with anyone. Sitting in his lonely flat, he kept phoning relatives, friends and acquaintances one after another for more help.
