One usually finds streets and flyways across the world being named after politicians and freedom fighters, however, breaking that norm are the narrow alleys in the Cuffe Parade slums of Mumbai. An NGO has taken the initiative to honour underprivileged youngsters who have struggled to live their dreams, by unofficially christening nameless alleys after them. So now, the Cuffe Parade slum boasts of Rehmuddin Shaikh Road, Devi Chauhan Road and Anita Rathod Road, proudly carrying names of their very own homegrown stars.
