Saroo was born in India in 1981. When he was five years old, he became separated from his family while they were traveling by train. He ended up on the streets of Calcutta, where he lived for several years as a homeless child.

Despite the challenges he faced, Saroo never gave up hope of finding his family. He eventually made his way to Australia, where he was adopted by a loving family. However, he never forgot his roots, and he longed to find his birth family.

In 2012, Saroo decided to use Google Earth to search for his hometown. After hours of searching, he finally found the town where he was born. He then traveled to India and found his birth mother and siblings.

The reunion was a joyous occasion, but it also brought up a lot of mixed emotions for Saroo. He was happy to be reunited with his family, but he also realized that he had missed out on many years of their lives.

Despite the challenges he has faced, Saroo Brierley is a remarkable man. He is a survivor, a fighter, and an inspiration to us all. His story is a reminder that even when things seem darkest, there is always hope.
