On a dark, stormy night, a young woman appeared near the orphanage. Holding her child close to her chest one last time, she left him at the door and disappeared as quietly as she had come. Only the moon and stars were silent witnesses to her deed, the cry of a desperate soul. "Munna" means "baby" in Hindi. That is what the owner of the orphanage named the foundling. Years passed. One day, a wealthy childless couple came to the orphanage, wishing to adopt one of the boys. Their choice fell on Munna. However, upon learning that the child's mother was alive, they changed their minds and left, leaving a gold amulet around the boy's neck. That night, Munna could not sleep: pain and longing weighed heavily on his little heart. The boy ran away from the orphanage and set off for Bombay in search of his mother. He was determined to find her.
