koochon(m): streets, lanes

Description of koochon: 'Koochon' is the plural form of 'koocha' in Urdu, referring to narrow lanes, alleys, or bylanes typically found in traditional urban neighborhoods. Unlike broad avenues, koochon are intimate, winding passages fostering community interactions. Differs from 'sarak' or 'raasta,' which denote wider streets or roads. In poetry, like Ahmad Faraz's works, koochon evoke nostalgia for silent, memory-laden paths in old cities.
