With 11 euros in pocket for 73 days, he was stranded at Mumbai Airport: I thought I was gonna die.

With more than 10 euros in his pocket he lived in Mumbai Terminal Park: “was always someone who gave me some bread, a drink”. This is the story of Randy Juan Mueller, Ghana football player playing 7 football in the state of Kerala, which is very much like Tom Hanks' history at the terminal. Early in March, he boarded the train for Thristur to arrive at Mumbai Airport, where he was expected to fly home. But that's where the nightmare started.

For two months Randy remained there, finding that all international flights were banned because of the pandemic. There were about 1,000 rupees in the pocket, the savings of the football season ceased by Coronavirus. Until Saturday, he lived in the park outside the terminal, until he was interested in his history by Maharashtra Aadija Thackeray, and then the Ghana Embassy, which found a hotel in the suburbs. Now, after 73 days Mueller sees light: “I am promised to be boarded on my first flight home. But I thought I'd die”, he told us about Indian Express.

And now he's ready to go home, just like Tom Hanks... “I don't have money for a souvenir or a present, but I think this experience is the greatest souvenir. Dear Lord, I will return to Kerala”
