The biggest moments of 2015 inspired trillions of questions. See what the world wanted to know. From the Paris attacks and the Syrian refugee crisis, to the biggest blockbuster science fiction movie we can think of, we all turned to Google at some point this year to find what we were looking for. For the people out there wondering what this is all about. Whether it is about courage or controversy. Well, I'll tell you what it's all about. It's about what happens from here. It's not just about one person. It's about thousands of people, It's about all of us accepting one another. We're all different, that's not a bad thing, that's a good thing. And, while it may not be easy to get past the things you don't always understand, it is absolutely possible, if we only do it together.

A wonderful story from Google showing how human passion and hope can overcome time and borders. In this story, a woman in India reunites her grandfather with his childhood friend (now in Pakistan) following six decades of separation with a little help from Google.
