An intriguing story which clearly shows what dogged determination can achieve. Saroos ability to continue his search for his home town for years on end is amazing. Even more so that after 6 years of searching he finds the place from where he left at just 5 years old. He miraculously survived on the streets of Calcutta against all the odds. This story will give you an interesting inside view into the struggle of daily life for millions of Indians and also the quest for understanding the meaning of self that adoption can raise.
