Hotels are places where lives pause, intersect, and quietly reveal themselves. In Unfeigned Tales of a Hotelwallah, Sandip Mukherjee listens closely to what emerges in moments of service: a conversation overheard in a corridor, a silence stretched across a counter, a story glimpsed before the door closes again. Told with gentle humour, compassion, and an unshowy eye for human frailty, these fourteen tales move between guests, staff, locations, arrivals and departures, dignity and desire.
The hotelwallah stands not as judge but as witness, offering stories that linger long after checkout, reminding us that even in the most transient places, the heart often leaves a permanent trace.
'Sandip's new offering, Unfeigned Tales of a Hotelwallah, is a delightful embroidery of lives intersecting in unexpected ways, full of wit, warmth, and a touch of earthly wisdom.

'Sandip's brand-new collection, Unfeigned Tales of a Hotelwallah, brings in episodes of warmth, humour, and understanding - each story a little adventure, each character a spark, leaving you enchanted, amused, and oddly inspired. A stimulating read.'
