Saroo Brierley: Homeward Bound ; Lost Indian Boy Finds His Way Home 25 Years Later With Google Maps

Written By Unknown on Wednesday, 25 February 2015 | 02:49

At the tender age of just five years old, Saroo Munshi Khan fell asleep on a train in India with his brother, and awoke with no one else on board. He was lost in a country with over one billion people. 
He was adopted by a caring Australian family who put a map of India in his room so he would never forget his roots. 
Saroo always wanted to find his family, but with only faint memories, it was like finding a needle in a haystack. That is, until Google Maps and Google Earth opened up his home country right on his computer. 
“It was a needle in a haystack, but, the needle was there.”
