He started losing interest in studies, became irregular with coaching classes, and at times avoided them altogether.On one occasion, instead of attending coaching, he spent several hours sitting alone in a nearby garden. This raised serious concern for the parents, as it was completely out of character.

Guidance Provided:
Avoid panic-based decisions or high-risk financial moves
Trim non-essential and discretionary expenses
Shift towards planned and controlled expenditure
Reduce financial exposure (avoid new loans or liabilities temporarily)
Focus on cash flow discipline rather than credit dependency Maintain a structured monthly budget
Gradually rebuild savings once pressure reduces
