It’s YOUR TURN NOW: Are you carrying KINDNESS in your pocket?

“Kindness is a perennial virtue, share it and it grows more”

You help someone and in reply what you get is precious as diamond the soothing smile the compassion essayed from the eyes. Yes one kindness act and you are so welled up in your emotion quotient.

We bumped about Your Turn Now (YTN) on Anupama Dalmia facebook page Beyond the box which had the contest to narrate your kindness act.

For few days we started pondering what kindness acts we had done in recent times, few flashed but we didn’t find them worth mentioning, again we started to jot down kindness acts but again they were not reaching our benchmark.

But Rushabh Turakhia says, “no kindness act is small, but maybe we all need gentle reminders to be kind”. This thought inspired us and we were drifted towards this campaign furthermore found out some amazing facts about this initiative and about founder Rushabh Turakhia. Let me share with you all about this movement.

Who started Your Turn Now?

Rushab Turakhia in December 2009, started this campaign to bring in compassion, gratitude through kindness acts. He is an author, businessman, motivational trainer and life coach. He has conducted various workshops in schools, communities and corporates with a sole intention to promote love and kindness. 

He has been awarded as Volunteer Hero, in 2012 for his efforts in the field of Social Change by Giants group. He has authored 4 books - Knock, Knock, Are you listening? , YOUR TURN NOW , Your Turn Now 2 and Second Look. All the royalty earned from the book is used 100% for charity. These books also find a place in the list of 8 books from across the world based on peace and kindness. 

What is the motive of Your Turn now initiative?

Rushabh, in one his interview said, “I just need to spread the message all over the world and make a world a happy place”. A smile by the content heart makes his day and gives him bundle of energy to move ahead in this movement.

In 9 years of YTN, the YTN cards have reached 45 countries and a million people and is dreamt of targeting 7.2 billion people. This is the plus side of social media and can you imagine this going so huge and having a positive effect. You can find more about it at YTN website.

How you can be part of YTN campaign:

Kindness is in everyone’s heart, it is just that we get so engrossed in our self and our executions that we miss the small acts of kindness that can make some one’s day. A simple smile to lift man or a thank you to your cook or a appreciation to colleague or a family member can make a huge difference in their life.

Kindness act that varies from person to person, one should have the intention to be kind and when someone finishes the kindness act pass on the YTN card to him/her so kindness spreads. If you have watched Salman Khan starrer movie ‘Jai Ho’, you can relate with this campaign even more.

You can get in touch with Rushabh to get the Your Turn Now card by messaging on +91-9029602897 or mail rushabh@yourturnnow.in

Writing and sharing about such kind initiative we fell happy today, spreading such acts brings smile on our face and lets all join our hands to make a world beaming of such kindness acts.

So friends, its your turn now to take this kindness act forward.
