kuucha(m): lane

Description of kuucha: Kuucha , in Urdu, refers to a narrow lane, alley, or bylane in an urban setting, often evoking intimate neighborhood pathways. Unlike broader streets or roads that accommodate vehicular traffic, kuucha implies a confined, pedestrian-only space winding between buildings. It differs from a gali, which denotes a similar but typically even smaller or more rustic alleyway. In Urdu poetry, kuuchas symbolize hidden emotions or secretive rendezvous, as in Ghalib's verses
