Himachal man finds his way home—45 years later
Rikhi Ram, who vanished from his Himachal village as a teen in 1980, finally reunited with his family this week after decades apart.
The twist? A second head injury suddenly brought back flashes of his old life, setting off an emotional journey home.
Lost, found, and a new beginning
After losing his memory in a road accident at 16, Ram lived under a new name—Ravi Chaudhary—first in Haryana, then Mumbai, and later settled in Maharashtra.
He built a whole new life: odd jobs, marriage, three kids. But in 2025, another head injury helped him remember where he came from.
With help from a college student and some internet searching, he reached out to people back in Nadi village.
When he finally returned on November 15, his siblings welcomed him with open arms and tears—a family reunion no one saw coming.
Why this story hits different
It's wild how one twist of fate can change everything—even decades later.
Ram's story is about memory, identity, and the power of connection (plus the internet coming through when it mattered most).
If you've ever wondered what it'd be like to start over or find your roots again—this is that story come to life.
