Saroo was only five years old when he followed his older brother to work along the train stations not far from his home. As Saroo fell asleep on a platform bench, Guddu his brother told him, “Just sit down, and don’t move. I’ll come back in a little while.” Waking up hours later to a dark, deserted platform, Saroo’s not certain why he stepped onto the empty train car standing before him. When Saroo gets separated at the train station from his brother, his life takes a dramatic turn. At just five years old, he finds himself alone in an unknown and crowded platform. With a vague notion of his way home, Saroo attempts to go back but instead winds up getting adopted and going to live to Australia.
He stays in touch with his family in India and says that the trip between India and Australia is one that he is destined to take often. When Saroo is about 3, his biological father leaves Saroo’s mother to live with another woman. His second wife is jealous, and Saroo’s mother believes that she keeps him from seeing his first wife and kids. Saroo has a memory of visiting his father, his new wife and their baby. Saroo’s father chases after Saroo’s mother, and they shout at each other. A crowd of Hindus and Muslims gather, but the crowd disperses after Saroo’s father hits his first wife in the head with a rock.

The memoir follows Saroo's life of poverty at home, to living on the streets of Kolkata, through to his getting adopted, and then on to his search for his family as an adult. Overall it is an uplifting story that pays tribute to Saroo's luck as much as his competency; it also give a huge nod to the power of acts of kindness. The book was co-written by Larry Buttrose, which may explain that even though the narration is very personalised, it feels distant. 8 out of 12, for the story itself, maybe a lot less for the writing. Saroo’s Australian parents take good care of him and try to understand his situation but don’t entirely understand why he needs to search for his family in India.
I feel like some books featuring adoption end up being either pro- or anti-adoption, but Brierley has made room in his life for both families. The author includes photographs in the book as well, which I always love. This is an inspiring story I liked reading from start to finish. At the age of five, Saroo an Indian boy becomes lost after after being separated from his brother. After traveling on a train for quite some time, Saroo ends up in Calcutta.

When Saroo Brierley was born, he was born into poverty in a small town in India. Of course he wasn’t Saroo Brierley then, and when he became lost he was only five, and could only remember his name was Saroo. He and his siblings were always hungry, but that was a fact of life. They spent their days begging for food, eating scraps from the ground and doing the best they could.
They opened their hearts a second time, a few years later, to adopt a brother for Saroo, a second son for them, named Mantash. Five years old, I remember naps in school, a playground, an older brother and a brand new baby brother. I was more concerned that my father didn’t know how to do pigtails. Guddu also tried extra jobs, selling items at the train station platform, but that created new problems with the law. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read.

Hindi was his native language, but typical of many small children in desperately poor areas of the world, he had very little vocabulary to work with when he was found. Many refugee children arrive in Australia with little language or smatterings of several but command of none. I can’t say they are “neglected”, because that makes it sound as if there’s a choice that they wouldn’t be. Saroo owes much of his open heart to Sue and John Brierley, a couple who were heaven sent.
From the first days after he came to live with his Mom and Dad, his new parents were extremely supportive and helpful. Photographs, maps were drawn of his vague memories as a five year-old, which she kept. What an amazing gift, and what an amazing gift he gives them in return. Broken, unpaved streets outside throughout the poverty-stricken neighborhood. Saroo describes a kind of “telepathy” where he would try to tell his Indian mom that he was all right by thinking of her. The day before Saroo returns, his mother prays to Allah for blessings on her family and an image of Saroo appears in her mind.

He was adopted by an Australian couple, and 25 years later reunited with his biological mother. His story generated significant international media attention, especially in Australia and India. Saroo's family had been abandoned by Saroo's father. In the mid-1980s, his family consisted of his mother, two older brothers and a younger sister. His mother's wages as an unskilled laborer weren't enough to keep the family fed. So his two older brothers also hustled on the streets, leaving Saroo in charge of their youngest sister.

There's an aggressive analysis document, letting you evaluate 10 buff pages with as much as 250,000 fans. It's possible to download reports of one's data in a lot of formats. The publisher has set limits on how much of this ebook you may print or copy.
Saroo’s Indian family lives on the Muslim side of town. Baba is the local “Muslim holy man,” who briefly gives Saroo, as a child, advice about dogs and appears for Saroo’s circumcision. At first, Tasmanian law prevents them from adopting if they can have their own children; however, 16 years after their decision to adopt, they realize the law has been changed. Since ISSA puts children with families the fastest, they send their file to the organization, and Saroo arrives three months later. Saroo says that he’s grateful to his adoptive parents for the life they gave him.
He revisits the station he lived in, before meeting with Mrs. Sood. She has worked for ISSA for 37 years and arranged adoptions for around 2,000 Indian children. Mrs. Sood tells Saroo that his adoption went smoothly compared to international adoptions today.
Mantosh has spent longer in Liluah, the juvenile home that Saroo stayed in, and was more scarred by the experience. Saroo grows older, discovering a passion for sports and working hard to be successful in high school. Saroo thinks of his family in India often, but it takes him a while to tell anyone his story. Saroo’s adopted parents don’t push him to tell his story too soon and understand when he brings up his biological family. Saroo adapts well to life in Australia but sometimes struggles to cope with how the culture works.
His mum , had a violent childhood, but Dad, John Brierley, had a happy upbringing, which gave stability to the family. They were in complete agreement about what they wanted to do together. First, I have to say that although I already knew the bones of the story, as so many potential readers may, it only made the reading that much more enjoyable. Ghost-writer Larry Buttrose isn’t listed on the cover although he’s credited “with Larry Buttrose” inside. A book that does not look new and has been read but is in excellent condition.

Saroo is not only frightened and alone, but he is also faced with having to scavenge and beg for food for his survival. He has no idea of his surname or the village he comes from which make it extremely difficult to find his way back home. Life is looking very bleak for, Saroo and he worries if he'll ever see his family again. Now adapted for young readers, Vice President Kamala Harris's empowering memoir about the values and inspirations that guided her life.
I found the book moving, inspirational and one of hope and the indomitable spirit of the humankind. Going through the early chapters where Saroo survives for six weeks as a five-year-old in Calcutta, I had palpitations as I felt anxious that nothing terrible should befall young Saroo! The book also has a special appeal for me since I grew up in India and lived for 13 years in wonderful Australia.
