Get Back Up | Vishal Nanda | TEDxWanChaiWomen

A member of the Peel Street Poets, Vishal Nanda spends a great deal of time creating fiction. Here he delivers an original composition urging us to 'get back up'. Nanda has won a pacific coffee gift card for his slam poetry, on the subjects of oceans and fatherhood, which he keeps unspent next to several other trinkets he has accumulated over the years. The poems themselves have been misplaced, as they were written on a scrap of paper at a bar. He has also had a short story performed by the local chapter of Liar's League in Hong Kong- a story which has been performed well by a local actor and has caused many beautiful women to cry. From their humble beginnings in a little bar on Peel Street in Hong Kong, Peel Street Poetry is now approaching its 10-year anniversary, and is still going strong with weekly open mics every Wednesday.
