What Facebook Missed this Year ?

The year 2015 has been… Extraordinary!!
(I paused for about 30 seconds to come up with a befitting expression. Still nowhere near) *sighs

It wasn’t just another year. It was a piñata packed with goodies, surprises, trips, opportunities, Happiness, Success, More Happiness… and the list goes on.

Apparently, it takes a lot of Hard work to social network it all.. and who has that kind of time?
Posting Pictures is tedious. But that didn’t stop us from making memories.

We Lived, We laughed, We clicked. But we couldn’t Post…

So the blogger in me rose from the ashes of 2012 when I wrote “Last day of the year”.
It is one of my favorite blogs which was a creation of all the unsaid observations/realizations throughout the year. I had planned on doing a 2014 version of it. But it never materialized and in the Blink of an eye it is “the Last Day of 2015”

And here we are... smiling as we scribble, reminiscing some top moments of 2015 which ought to go viral for our future generations.

Without any further delay, we are going to do a Highlight reel of this gorgeous year  and will share some snippets of memories filled with warmth to express gratitude to all those who were a part of it. Once again... Lucky ones were a part of it ! 

So, The year commenced with a “Step Up”. 

Samsung Annual day where we performed our very own classical Bharatnatyam and the Audience went all Monjolika as they cheered...

The glitter from the day shall always linger and the feet shall tap the Floor at the slightest hint of music. Dancing does that to you!


Okay...! The second quarter will all be about our First Bungee adventure.
I never knew I could scream that loud. Jesus!
Jumping Heights in Rishikesh, which was a short 3 days trip was an amazing experience. So good that it never occurred to me to click a picture. It was a tech free, nature hugging getaway... 
While Rafting is a darling thing you do at Rishikesh, Bungee was the cherry on Top. I might revisit!! 
Annndd… Don’t forget to dine at “Little Buddha Café” It’s a nice subtle, ‘delicious sweet lime’’ serving restaurant situated up the bank of Ganges. *sighs again


The Month of May and Yay its my Birthday!! Got Fortunate to be the pampered one with Mom Dad treating with Cake and presents! A Surprise planned at work by close Friends who made
the day all very special.. <3  Thanks Guys :)

As the month ended, it also marked the end of celebrations as it was followed by the infamous CS exams. As you become a student of ICSI, the journey till you become a Member sure makes the words "CS Exam” a haunting experience.

Exams ended, and so did the prep leaves, Work began and when you work like a Ruthless Robot, the rewards are Company Conference at “Goa”.  It only sounded great.

72 hours of impeccable coordination, running around, negotiating, and finger crossed, sleepless nights is what event management is… But after that it all becomes worthwhile when the smug glows with success and glory.

    Partner Conference at The Lalit, Goa 


And of course having a sweet charming brother in Goa does make things special.

Thanks Aishwarya. You made that trip so memorable.Long bullet ride in the greenery to the beautiful cliff that I always wanted to be at.
It definitely needs an Album. 















Vande Matram! The Independence month is here. That calls for Workstation décor and of course some Awesome food, Random out of office Lunches and pictures!!











The Last Quarter has been The Extra in the Ordinary…..

25th September 2015. The Day marks History. Rashmi Singh becomes a CS.

Went to Bangla Sahib for the first time. Thank you God, Mom, Dad, Raidee and Aishu. Love you all.

The much awaited MSOP training, a milestone. Meeting and making such good friends. Felt like good old college days. We met, we trained, we bonded, we partied, We had the time of our lives. I guess they titled me as “Tom boy’’.  Thanks Guys, it was a wonderful time. This will need an album too!

MSOP Batch Party at Euphoria, Gurgaon


Then comes the Singh Family’s most awaited “Finally feels like a vacation”  Trip 

Yes. Its family time on the beaches of Goa. Great food, Great Stay, Awesome trip organized by Aishi. The Trip also gave us the chance to celebrate Rakshabandhan and Ganesh Vitsarjan.

One Hell of an Album. Bigger than the sea..! 





October 2015 was lucky as we passed the Driving test on our own in High fever. We practiced and learned the very same day, 3 hours before the test. Thanks Dad. You are my Hero. 

During Daddy’s visits we always go for long walks and at least a temple. 
This time we went to the Chattarpur temples and it was a really good experience.



While November needs no limelight, with the festival of lights dazzling the entire month.

The month about eating fattening food, welcoming winters, sweets, family, and Shoppiingg.


Diwali Day at Office

There will be plenty pictures from that day...!!

Moving on, First week of December was phenomenal.

ISL at JLN Stadium. First time football match experience was spectacular.

Then happened the Delhi Comic Con 2015, where we Cos played. The only album that I could manage to share.

Prakhar was “Heisenberg’’ and I became ä better looking “Jesse”. Oh it was super fun. Can’t wait for next year.


Breaking Bad is as addictive as that blue stuff yo!


Can’t believe there’s so much and it has been 8 hours already to this Blog of 2015. Let’s be quick about it.

Experiences to be carried on to Next year -
  • Learned how to cook, not crystal meth, but custom Half fried omelets.
  • Now owns a Kindle to indulge into finer things.
  • And how can I forget, I Learned how to ride an actual motor bike. Gone are the pillion days now…. Ride anyone??
  • Trying and discovering the Roadside Delicacies.
  • Watching Theatre instead of Movies.
  • Goa..oh yes again in 2016.
  • Game of Thrones. Valar Morghulis

Little do we know, what 2016 unfolds for us. I’ll say don’t plan a thing… God has a better plan.

Sometimes, the unplanned impromptu weekends turn out to be better that the planned ones.

Last few weeks of 2015 were one of those. *Smiles mischievously*

Today, as I conclude this blog, I feel satiated. The clock ticks away leaving a faded trail of sweet & sour memories. Memories which are easy to capture but impossible to retrieve.

This writing made me revisit the entire year and I am glad I could steal and seal a bit of happiness from the year. I Hope it puts a smile on the faces of all the people who were a part of it and made this journey a wonderful experience. Thanks all…

I wish a very Happy New year to all the wonderful people who are reading this.
May 2016 be more beautiful, joyous and prosperous!!

As I believe, It keeps getting better everyday!

This is Rashmi of house Singh, reporting from her Hometown with a mouth full of Mom made cup cakes. Let the fat times roll… Cheers :)
