Tales of Friendship with Zee TV's Yaaron Ki Baraat

We all know that "There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship". This post is dedicated to all those people who have those real friends & got the gift of true "Yaar" in their life.

Recently Zee TV has announced a new chat show " Yaaron Ki Baraat" which is all about celebrating friendship, coming for the first time on Indian Television. The two hosts (Ritesh & Sajid) will spill the beans on the celebrity friendship & will put them on various tests, through the series of challenges & task in a unique way. This show is very special for people like me & it kind of reminds me of my good old days of my college & friendship. As Zee TV takes us on a journey with some quirky tales of friendship, sweet little anecdotes about our friendship & besties, the moments that brought us closer to each other, here I am with my story of my closest Yaar "Meena". To start with my story, let me tell a little bit about my best friend " Surendra Meena" aka Meena.How we met is really interesting This was during my last semester of engineering & I was looking for an internship just to get some extra money & exposure in the industry before I get graduated. I applied to an E-commerce company & got selected as Business development executive. It was my first day of internship & we all gathered for an early morning meeting with all other MBA interns. There was one guy who was interacting with our manager regarding the leads for the day & ongoing deals. The manager asked him to take one of the interns with him on the business meet for the day & to my surprise , he asked me to join him for the meeting. That is where we interacted for the first time. We introduced each other. He was simple & down to earth. On our way to the meeting ,we exchanged contacts & learned about each other. The meeting was successful & we cracked the deal & brought the check in the evening.  Our duo got appreciated by the marketing lead & he told me to join Meena in all his leads going forward.

This is where our friendship started, from a colleague to a true friend the whole journey was fantastic. We started meeting outside working hours as well. Soon we were popular in the company for cracking deals with my technical skills & his marketing knowledge. I was being promoted as Business development manager, all thanks to Meena for his support & regular feedback. We became best buddies in the office & even out of the office. I was staying away from family & he was staying brother in a hostel. We started staying overnight at each other's place, partying enjoying after working the whole day. After sometime he introduced me to his family & they were really cool & fun-loving people, soon we planned a road trip with his cousins & some common friends in the new year.
I still remember that was the best new year I have celebrated in my whole life. Now after 6-7 years down the line, we are still close friends though we are living in different cities, he started his own business, I got placed in MNC working as a consultant. We still talk to each other on a regular basis. Whenever I go to my native place, I split my journey & go to his city, just to meet him. We spend the whole day, remembering all the fun, masti we did together. We share all our Up's & Down's with each other. If I have to quote my friendship with Meena,in one sentence I would say " A friendship founded on a business is better than a business founded on a friendship".Guys I am looking forward to this new chat show" Yaaron Ki Baraat". This is the best way we can celebrate the friendship. Revisit the old time & enjoy those old memories.You guys can watch this on Zee TV, it is going live on 8th October at 8 PM. Hope you will like this exciting show. Ask you friends to join this celebration of friendship with Yaaron Ki Baraat.
