man, nowadays those slums are in rent most of the times and the population increased many folds, most of these slums nowadays have AC, refrigerators and used for commercial purposes, that is why nobody seems to recognise him

Glad i got out of Colaba 2 days before the attacks!
@1981Bolero - He states that the characters (names) are fictitious, not his experiences. There was a real Karla, Prabaker, Vikram, Khader Khan, Khaled, Abdullah, etc. He only changed their names to protect their privacy. The book is not fictitious, only the characters' names.

It's called a novelist, not a liar. His time in the slum clinic was a long time before this interview so I don't think everyman and his dog will recognize him. If you walked through your old high school would you expect all the kids there to recognize you? That wouldn't make any sense.
