Gandi simply missed his wife

30-year-old Ramesh Gangarajam Gandi, who works as a cleaner for management company Emrill, said on that day he was thinking about home. He was wondering what people were doing, how they were, but mostly, he was missing his wife, according to local reports.

After his wedding in 2019, he spent only one month with his wife before he moved to Dubai. He said he does enjoy his job and life in Dubai, but COVID has been a difficult time and he looks forward to travelling home once again soon.

Since the story made headlines, Gandi received a gift pack from the Ministry of Community Development as a token of support.
