I was browsing through an old TIME magazine and came across this book. May be some one already has it. I am sure that they are available in the local Library also. So, if you do get a chance please borrow it and read it. What a compelling story.

"A long way home." Please get it from your library.

It had become an obsession, looking for Ginestlay (if only he could spell it right!) or for that other railway station – it started with a ‘B’ and sounded like Berampur. It was late in the night, his girlfriend Lisa had long gone to bed and Saroo Brierley was poring over a map at their apartment in Hobart, the capital of the Australian island state of Tasmania. He’d been doing this meticulously for a year now – zooming in and out of railway tracks originating from Kolkata’s Howrah station on Google Earth.

This is what he knew: Ginestlay was not by the mountains, it wasn’t on the seaside, it wasn’t lush. It was a dusty little village. Berampur was roughly 12 hours away (by train) from Kolkata. He remembered the landmarks, a fountain, a river, a bridge… He had searched through West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh but found nothing familiar. If only he could find the right station – Brahmapur, Baharampur, Birampur, Burhampoor… what was Berampur called? – he knew he could find his way back home. DID HE??!!
