What is Flipkart's Big Billion Day Sales? Are they cheating people in the name of Big Billion Day sales?
In my opinion, Flipkart’s “The big billion day” was a huge scam.First let me explain what I did. Instead of manually refreshing the page every 5 seconds to check if new "STEAL DEALS" had arrived, I wrote a simple python script to do the same. You can check out my python script here. (shadowfax92/flipkart_parser.py)Basically, the script parsed Flipkart’s page every 5 seconds to see if any new product had arrived in “STEAL DEAL” section. If a new product had arrived, my scripted shouted “Ring Ring Ring” (Thanks to OS X “say” command :P) on my mac and then send out a mail along with few product details like Name of product, discount offered/price, status of product (whether sold out or not) and the link to the "shop now"/"view product" page. What I noticed (once the script started working) is very bizarre. Whenever a new product arrived (the one's with crazy discounts like 90% and above) in the “STEAL DEAL” section, it was already in “Sold out” state. This basically means two things, either someone bought all of these products within 5 seconds (which is very unlikely) or Flipkart was simply fooling the customers into believing that they were too late in selecting the product. I think the latter case is more plausible. Indirectly, Flipkart was attracting a huge number of customers to their page who finally ended up buying the next best thing.Few of the sample mails sent by my script:Mail-1:from: X@somemail.comto: Y@somemail.comdate: Mon, Oct 6, 2014 at 6:11 PMsubject: Simmtronics Xpad X802 TabletSimmtronics Xpad X802 TabletOffer: Sold OutFlat at Rs 99http://www.flipkart.com/simmtron....Mail-2:from: X@somemail.comto: Y@somemail.comdate: Mon, Oct 6, 2014 at 6:11 PMsubject: HGST Touro Mobile 2.5 inch 1 TB External Hard DiskHGST Touro Mobile 2.5 inch 1 TB External Hard DiskOffer: Sold OutFlat 90% Offhttp://www.flipkart.com/hgst-tou....PS: Did anyone actually mange to buy any product in the "STEAL DEAL" section?

What does it mean if my ex unblocked me on FB two months after we broke up?
Disclaimer : The answer may seem harsh, but its true....Assumption : You are a guy and your girlfriend dumped you.So, Your ex unblocked you. Good! But what now? Nothing, just let it be..I know that you're quite starstruck with your ex still and she is quite indifferent about you. And you might be thinking that she is missing you; so she unblocked you on FB? Or may be you are taking it as a green flag, right? Enough about your optimism. Now come to reality.Your ex unblocked you because :1. She doesn't hold a grudge against you anymore and possibly your existence, blocked or not does not matter to her.2. She may have found someone else or is clear that you are not a distraction anymore. Hence there is no need to keep you blocked.3. She thinks enough time has passed that you moved on and you won't bother her. So don't bother her. Or, you can block her. Your choice.But why the hell do you care? She's your ex.Keep these things in mind always :1. Feelings are always there but people leave us. Make peace with the fact that “they don’t need u” and stop bothering them over and over again. After a while everything is going to be just fine. Time heals any worse shit that has happened to us.2. Stop expecting filmy shit to happen where people wait for years for each other. That kinda shit doesn’t exist anymore. The sooner you come into real world, the better your life will be .3. Never go back to your ex : Yeah! That’s the biggest mistake people do, and even I did. Because Surviving a breakup is hard. We sometimes tend to feel so low that we call up our ex and share our feelings. However, I learned the lesson soon and never repeated that again. Your ex is your ex for a reason and you should never want to poke the past expecting to ignite the flame of love again. It simply doesn’t happen. Clinging to the love that is unrequited makes you bitter. Remember you create your own reality.Final Advice : Chin up, head high, smile! Come what may, life goes on! It’s just a bend, not the end. You have to put your chin up, hold your head high and smile at life, with hope and positivity. Life is just not long enough to hate, be angry or to stay stuck in an unhappy place. There are brighter days to come!Always Remember :Breakup is hard, but its lessons are enlightening. That is the beauty of life – you always find a truth in paradox.Pain makes you stronger. Fear makes you braver. Heartbreak makes you wiser.
