A photo of a Dubai cleaner crafting a heart out of some twigs, dried leaves he had collected while sweeping the street has gone viral on social media.
The man, who was wearing a fluorescent worker's jersey, was later identified as Ramesh Gangarajam Gandi, who works as a housekeeping staff member with a Dubai company.
It was a regular day at work for 30-year-old Gandi, as he went about his daily routine of sweeping away dry leaves from a street in Donwtown Dubai. Suddenly, a rush of emotion led him to draw a heart on the pavement - not with anything fancy, but with the very dried leaves he had collected while sweeping.
The scene was captured by an observant resident of the locality - Nesma Farahat - who was watching from her window.
"I was just wrapping up my work from my home desk when I noticed a worker crafting something on the pavement with this heap of dried leaves that he had collected. I went to my balcony to look more closely and, as I watched him for a few minutes, I saw him perfecting the shape of a heart.
"It was just such a sweet sight and lasted for just like a minute or two as by the time I went out to see he had almost completed the shape and was just smoothing out the edges. He then just looked at it for a few seconds lovingly and then just swept away the leaves, put them on his cart and went away quietly," she told Khaleej Times.
Nesma then posted the picture on her Instagram account and the response she said she received was "overwhelming". The picture went viral on Instagram and was liked by thousands of Instagram users with heartwarming messages for Gandi.
"My friends liked the picture so much that they requested if they could share it from their accounts too and I was amazed at the outpouring of love and support it received from the community," Farahat said.
When contacted, Gandi, who came to the UAE last year in September to work as a housekeeping staff with facilities management company Emrill, said he was completely oblivious of the fact that someone was watching him in those few moments he spent making the shape of a heart.
