As the countdown begins to sainthood for Mother Teresa on Sunday and everybody who can is off to The Vatican, one man has come down from London to Kolkata and plans to spend September 4 in Mother Teresa's city where she had found him abandoned, crippled with polio and given him a different destiny.

A young polio-afflicted child who was abandoned by his parents in Kolkata but rescued by Mother Teresa, has now returned from London as an NRI to retrace his roots and pay homage to the late nun who will be declared a saint next month.
