Hotel Bright Star Inn

My father, Om Prakash Singh, started things here at the L.I.G- A/ 183 address in Govindpur Colony. It’s a normal residential area in Allahabad, so you won’t find big flashing neon signs or anything too loud. We call it Hotel Bright Star Inn. It’s really just a few rooms we look after. I spend most of my mornings checking the register and seeing who is checking out. The colony is usually pretty calm, though the kids play cricket in the lane on Sundays. People stay with us because they want a quiet night without spending too much money. I handle the bookings myself most of the time. If the tap leaks, I’m usually the one who has to fix it or call the local plumber from down the road. We have some tea and basic breakfast if guests ask for it. The walls are painted a simple cream color. It’s not a big corporate hotel, just a family-run spot in a housing board colony. Most of our guests are people visiting relatives nearby or students in town for exams. I keep the keys in a wooden drawer behind the small desk in the entrance. Sometimes the neighbors stop by to chat while I’m sweeping the front step. It’s just the way things are done here in our part of town. We don’t have a big staff, just me and a couple of helpers to keep the place tidy for guests.
