About the book
Unlike our real world, there is no ‘rush’ in Manish Sinha‘s poems. There is a calm in these lines. There’s ‘dosti by campfire’, wings of hope’, “boatmen of Banaras’, and ‘waltz’. In the moving, debut collection of poems, The Grand Museum of the Earth, ‘a little is a lot’

Manish Sinha
aka Musafir
Years have morphed and altered me, chipped away at me and hidden bits of me.
A part of me would have been lost inside me if I hadn’t penned
‘The Grand Museum of the Earth’ -
It’s been my escape room.

Signed copies of the first edition of “The Grand Museum of the Earth”, Manish Sinha's debut collection of poetry is now available for purchase online, with a personal note from the poet.
The Grand Museum of the Earth
Reads like pages from an autobiography.
The experiences narrated therein are exclusive, yet universal. The minimalist lines capture the economy of life, the poetry of things, and above all, the immense solitude of the soul.
The ‘Grand Museum of the Earth’ carries within it wondrous memories, a persona called Musafir and a lantern that shines the light of truth on the dark corners of the room called Life
About the author -
Manish Sinha
Adman turned entrepreneur, Manish Sinha runs a travel company and a digital marketing agency. He began writing poems, stories, and posts as a chronicler of the times. Hindi and English are his native languages. Apart from the Grand Museum of the Earth, he is currently working on Hindi poetry collections for Gulab Se Gulag Tak and Radio Alfaaz. A digital nomad, he moves between Gurgaon, Goa and Lisbon.
This Museum Sees All And Shows All
In a beguiling personal language of ‘wrinkled, wrapped-up memory’ - metanomic & metaphorical, Manish hunts and haunts you with intimately terrifying quirks of identity and fluctuating fortunes of individual and collective destiny.
Reminding of Nietzschean linguistic twists and turns in his aphoristic, ascetic, and angular verses, he reinvents unique and addictive fictional habitations of poetic language to the point of its own disintegration- mesmerizing and memorable.

This museum sees all and shows all. There is no shame in gawking at things kept here- a child's memory of a drink, a pair of eyes in a burqa, narratives of resistance, and much, much more!
It's a beautiful, sublime debut. A strong voice that's unafraid to confess, to agitate, to protest.
