YOUR TURN NOW!!!! - March 2011

Be there for someone.... By Rushabh Turakhia

WHAT IS YOUR TURN NOW?

YOUR TURN NOW is a reform to make the world around you kind. Make people around thoughtful, compassionate, kind, generous etc...

Its about little nameless act which touches someone's heart and makes it smile. Making you more aware of the world around and looking for every opportunity to be there for someone when they need it.

Its how you want to multiply the feeling with full enthusiasm and pass on the card.

WHEN WAS IT STARTED?

YTN as it is kindly called was started in December 2009. These are the real cards like visiting card that has YOUR TURN NOW printed on it.

HOW IT WORKS?

In our daily life many a times we get a chance to be kind to a stranger, we act and we forget, but this reform has been started for the people who get that support.

When they get that little taste of kindness from you, you give them YOUR TURN NOW card which says now it’s their turn to touch someone’s heart or make them smile. So that person doesn’t have to thank you back but pay it ahead, means be kind or be there for someone else.

How would you feel if you come to know your taxi fare is paid?
How would you feel if your restaurant bill is paid?
How would you feel if someone sends you your favourite brownie when you are low to make your day?
How would you feel if someone baby-sits your child so you can spend sometime with your spouse?
So next time you touch someone’s heart or make him or her feel special you just have to pass the card.

HOW MANY CARDS ARE ON OUT AND WHERE?

As on date 32,500+ cards are out spreading kindness and happiness in 17 states in India i.e. Maharashtra, Gujarat, Delhi, Haryana, U.P., Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, West Bengal, etc…. It has also spread to 20 countries and that’s UK, USA, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Zambia, Philippines, U.A.E, Nigeria to MAKE ONE WORLD.

WHY ARE YOU DOING IT, WHAT IS THE TARGET OR VISION?

Doing it to make mankind realize that they are MAN who is supposed to be KIND. Kindness which should be your inborn nature, but has been forgotten or suppressed by your fast daily life. The target is to touch 6.2 billon people on this planet at least once in their lifetime. YTN was started with a feeling to change the world to a kinder place to live in from a mean-ful one. But as the YTN cards started flowing around trying to make a better place to live in, it started becoming clearer that there was already in abundance everything we could ask for. But people had forgotten to share them or afraid to express them. And we call this age an age of communication!!!

As YTN HEARTS started working and gradually the number of kind deeds started spreading it started sinking in that the world was actually a beautiful place to live. It’s only our perception and reactions to situations made it look the way it looked. And the feeling of making this world a worthy place to live changed to lets work together and make it even better place by sharing what we already had. All the YTN HEARTS started sharing in abundance their love, care, awareness, mindfulness, time, money…So YTN does not any more work from a space of lack but works from a space of abundance. Why can’t we start sharing what we already have? The things to share would add a different meaning to life. As the cards rolled ahead it conveyed loud and clear ‘I care’. Which people had started forgetting to communicate in their fast driven life.

HOW MUCH DOES THE CARD COST?

A million dollars….yes every time this card is used it creates a million dollar smile. And we are giving it to you at the price: that is you have to be kind and use the card, share your kindness stories to inspires more than 3,500 YTN hearts. To make people around realize its not time or money that counts in being kind but its your thought.

Yes it comes free and you don’t have to pay for postage as well. Just be kind and spread the message across to mankind.

WHAT ABOUT MEDIA OR ANY OTHER KIND OF AWARENESS?

YOUR TURN NOW activities have been covered by Hindustan Times, Times of India, Red fm, 104 Fever fm, couple of national and international magazines etc. Also talks and awareness have been spread in many schools, colleges, government institutions, Corporations, NGOs, etc.

WHERE CAN WE READ THE STORIES?
