Connection

Saroo's adopted parents took him to the movies to see a Hindi film called Salaam Bombay. 

"It's images of a little boy trying to survive alone in a sprawling city, in the hope of returning to his mother, brought back disturbing memories so sharply that I wept in the dark cinema, my well-meaning parents unaware of the cause." (5)
