The boy who found his mother after 25 years
Saroo Brierley started life in India, fell asleep on a train at the age of five and ended up being sent for adoption in Australia. He was 'a little boy lost' who didn't even know the name of his hometown. But, 25 years later, he found his birth family again by zooming in on internet maps, matching landmarks with those from his childhood memory. He spoke to Outlook's Matthew Bannister in 2012 - just weeks after he was first reunited with his mother.
