"The older brother who accompanied Mr Brierley on the train ride was found dead on railway tracks."
- mad44 15y agoOther writeup of the story has the same mistake. First "he is separated from his brother and boards a train", later "the brother was accompanying him on the train ride". http://www.indianexpress.com/news/from-beggar-to-oz-businessman-he-returns-ho/912561/ http://www.indianexpress.com/news/from-beggar-to-oz-business...
- cydonian_monk 15y agoGiven the tendancy of Indian rail lines to be overloaded (and for beggars and hobos to hang on the outside of trains or on the roof/undercarriage), is it possible both are true? That he was seperated from his brother, but both somehow got on the same train and his brother 'fell off' somewhere along the way? Pure speculation, but it might put your OCD at ease.
- mad44 15y agoPlausible.
- cma 15y agoThere were two train rides, one to go beg, and then one to head back home. The brother accompanied on the first.
- funthree 15y agoI think this is right. Also, it's quite sad to consider the older brother's fate. After he lost his little brother, he may have spent the remainder of his life searching around the train station for him.
- mark_up 15y agoNo you don't have OCD, and your belittle those who suffer from it every time you use it in a silly way like you've done here.
