An Old Drawing

Saroo’s mum came in and said, “Wait a second, I’ll be back in a second.” And she came back and said, “Here’s a little drawing that you drew back when you were five years of age. It is a map of your hometown.” It got a water tower on the left-hand side, a flyover bridge, a ravine further on, and a train station on the right-hand side.
And that’s what he was looking for. Those were the images stuck in his head for 25 years. He then closed his eyes and said, “Please, God, let me just one last time see my family again.” He zoomed down on this train track, and scrolled, and scrolled, and he thought it looked familiar. And so, he zoomed in and saw the water tower, and he couldn’t believe it. Was his mind playing a game?
