apr 3, 2011 - Homeward

Description:

Saroo suspects "Ginestlay" might be a suburb in Khandwa, so he turns to his next tool-FaceBook. Still in the early stages, but he finds a group called "Khandwa: My Home Town". He messages the group admins, asking about a specific landmark he recalls-a cinema and a large circle fountain.

He is told that the cinema has been closed for years, and there was a small fountain outside it.

Saroo does not despair, though. He asks about Ginestlay, seeds of doubt making him suspect some mispronunciation or error. When he asks about "Ginestlay" still remembering the relative position of the town, he gets an answer: "Ganesh Talai".
