Nitya Vyas always had the habit of spinning her ID cards in her hand in college and that continued till now, where she keeps rotating her office ID card continuously when she is at the office. It so happened that one of her friends saw this. She narrates, “My friend asked me, ‘Do you know what you are doing, or have you seen it somewhere?’” Vyas told the friend that she had no idea what they were talking about, but just spinning the card because it relaxes her. “My friend told me I am doing poi sport and encouraged me to do it properly,” adds Vyas, who is happy to have discovered the poi spinning community.
