What does "Deferred Delivery Marked" mean? Help needed with XpressBees shipping update

I was about to get a courier from XpressBees that was supposed to be delivered on Jan 11th, but it's been delayed. The sender gave my correct address, so I’m not sure what’s causing the hold-up. The tracking status showed "Out for Delivery" on Jan 14th, but now it says "Deferred Delivery Marked" as of Jan 18th (screenshot iss attached).

Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea what this status means and if I should be concerned?

Career options for PCB students? Other than MBBS for God's sake

Young PCB student here(highschool), practicing coding (java) as well. NEET demotivates me a lot, not to mention I'm in the general category. Being a doctor is my passion, but MBBS- I'm not so sure about that. Any other options I've got, with a decent salary, or does my stream suck?

Unknown number knows my name.

I get texts on WhatsApp from unknown numbers. They usually say Hey (my name) and how are you. I have anxiety and it really creeps me out. I've gotten 5-6 texts like these. And it's worse when they pop up late at night. The account usually says business. I just block them. But still how do they know my name.

Office promotions day. How was it? Are y'all happy?

Hi Team,

There was this appraisal day at my work place a few days ago. Some people got promoted and were happy and those who didn't were quite sad and then there were some people who were sad coz even tho they were promoted their peers were promoted and were a step up on the so called corporate ladder.

Aaand then there was I, who was absolutely indifferent and felt so out of place. Although I'm very grateful for this job, I had no ambition of working in the corporate and am just doing it for the sake of it and am in a very low level operations role (although it doesn't matter to me much).

I know the answers to my questions and self inquiries but can't seem to be doing anything about it.

Are you happy in your job/corporate life or life in general?

This is what kept me busy while a long turbulent flight.

Went back to my work location today after the holiday season. Super long and turbulent flight, but got distracted reading this mystery thriller. If anyone’s read this, I’d like to know how it is (without spoiling it of course :) )

What happened to TVFPlay.com? Why did The Viral Fever shut it down?

Recently, I noticed that TVFplay.com has been shut down, and I was curious to understand the reasons behind this decision.

Honestly imo The Viral Fever were ahead of their time and it's disappointing to see them fail....

TVFplay.com was great.

Was it the server cost ? Government policy ? Not enough traffic ? Overhead Cost ?

Why is the platform down?

Curious case of my birthdays .

I have my birthday after 20 days and I am not feeling anything , not even excited about it .I kinda hate it . I don't know why . Maybe because I am pissed off of my life .

Didn't achieved anything great in 24 years . I just have Mediocre job , no friends, no relationships . Living alone . I hate the fact that I don't have friends except few and they are far away . And I am not doing anything about it . Because at one side . I have a argument that having fewer friends but true once is the correct way , and in other side . I also wish someday I would have so much money and 4-5 good friends that I will enjoy every moment with them but I don't know when will that day come .

Let me tell me in hindi so that True emotions will come out

Mera birthday February mein aata hai . Bachpan mein mammi papa jyada bada bday celebrate karne nahin diye kyunki "final exam" aane wala hota hai 20-30 dino mein

Aaj bhale hi final exam na ho , aur aaj bhale hi thode se paise aur aajadi ho birthday celebrate karne ke liye. Lekin ab wo dost nahin rahe celebrate karne ke liye. sab piche choot gaye

I am doomed rest of my life , especially regarding my birthdays . Haan agar bhagwan ke kripa se pyaar hua aur shadi hui to , biwi bachho ke saath birthday celebrate karunga . Lekin uska guarantee nahin hai

Urgent Helppp Required!

Hello! I'm a 12th grade arts and humanities student whose exams are coming up from 11 Feb and is yet to touch books. So before asking for genuine help and advice here are somethings about me:

  • tried (several times) but didn't study the entire year
  • also my collage is not much of help so did not attend it either.(spelling mistake on purpose as the correct word is not allowed here. Strange.)
  • badly wanted to score good as it is going to decide which uni i end up in.(I still do and my dream was to get into any DU north campus collage which is now far from reality)
  • I am being SO DELUSIONAL that I waste days and weeks altogether that I don't even realise it. HELP
  • I also made several study schedules and planned days in advance but couldn't follow it.

Why on earth do I not have ANY SERIOUSNESS about my boards!? Does anyone else feel the same.

I cannot help myself and keep going. There is so much syllabus to deal with I have no idea what to do. I know I have wasted my year but still want to score atleast 85% and not dishearten my parents. Motivate me to do my BEST and not give up.

Went to a function, feeling terrible af

I went to my friend's sister's haldi ceremony today, there, my friend's friends were present as well. As usual we began to talk a lot about things and all i did was just sit quietly on a chair. everyone discussing about how their office is , what their role is, the way they make road trips, food trips, etx etc

and OP, who is an unemployed person at 22 years of age was there sitting and listening to them for 2 hours. It made me feel terrible. Although i have written mains of IBPS & waiting for my result, i felt really slapped in the face.

I just dont know what god has written for me. I just wish either success or death , nothing in between.

PS = thats it, this is what i had to rant. please dont come up with comments like - u are just 22 and all, bhai 22 me hi duniya dekh li, ho gaya hai mera yaha se ab fr!

I'm currently buying clothes for myself for my sister's marriage. I'm taking this as an opportunity to build a decent ethnic wardrobe.
My current plan to have 3-4 kurta and pyjama stitched and then mix & match with shawls and stoles for various occasions.
For marriage event particularly, How should I go about building a kurta that looks good but isn't too heavy?

AWKWARD!! How do I ask for Missing Slippers ??

So, I’ve had an interesting few years hosting someone at my place, and I need some advice about an awkward situation.

Context about my dad [ My dad is the kind of person who would do anything for his loved ones. He’s super generous, always helping people financially, and if they owe him money, he just says, "They’ll give it back when they want to." So, yeah, he’s pretty chill about these things. ]

The situation!!!

A few years ago, one of my dad’s friend’s sons needed a place to stay while attending college. My dad told me, “Let him stay with you until he’s done.” I didn’t ask many questions—I just left it to my dad and his friend to sort out the details.

Here’s the thing: this guy moved in with nothing but his clothes and a few books. No blanket, no mattress, no sheets. My dad told me, “Let him use whatever’s at home—extra blankets, food, even toothpaste.” So I was like, “Alright, no problem.”

Fast forward: Year 1: He used everything without buying even a single coriander leaf.

Year 2: Same story. When I asked him to grab some veggies from the market, he’d say, “Give me money, and I’ll get it.”

Year 3: So all this time He helped with cooking and cleaning sometimes, but still no contribution otherwise.

When college ended- he decided to join a coaching program and asked to stay 3 more months. My dad, being my dad, said, “No problem.” But those “3 months” turned into endless extensions. Finally, after many calls to my parents, my dad told him to find a place and move out.

Before he moved out : I called him out once because he hid a brand-new towel I had just bought.

He left and went back to his hometown for a week. Then, suddenly, he showed up again, saying he got a job nearby and just needed “a few days” to stay until he found a place. A few days later, he left again.

The current awkward situation

The day after he moved out, he called and asked if I could cook for him because he didn’t have a tiffin service yet. I said okay, and he came over, ate, took some stuff he had left behind—and here’s where it gets weird.

I noticed that my slippers were missing after he left. I’ve searched everywhere—my room, bathroom, the whole house—and I can’t find them. Now I’m not sure if he took them or if I misplaced them somewhere.

Here’s the thing: I don’t even know how to ask him about it without sounding accusatory. Like, “Hey, did you take my slippers?” feels so awkward and petty after everything.

What would you do in this situation? Should I just let it go? Or is there a way to ask him without making it weird?

TL;DR: Dad's friend's son stayed with me for 3+ years during college, using all my resources without contributing. He finally moved out after many extensions, but now my slippers are missing, and I’m not sure if he took them or if I misplaced them. How do I ask him about it without sounding awkward? Or should I just let it go?

Did you have a friendship breakup? How did you deal with it?

Now I know it might be a bit personal, but we all shed some skin to get into the newest version of ourselves. So tell me something that changed you, and continues to keep you from going back to them!

Hi, please help me in finding this TV show/episode I watched some 10-15 years ago (pls read description). It was on Nat Geo or History TV

So the episode was about vampires. The only memory of that show I have is the climax. A group of people gather around a door in the forest(just a door, nothing else, imagine the 'anywhere door' from 'Doreamon' anime) and perform a ritual that goes as follows: They light a candle,

Then they one by one pour some powder around the flame,

One of the girls is selected and she needs to go inside the door(there is nothing behind the door except for the forest) and close it from the other side.

Then the other people would knock on that door. She doesn't answer, and when they opened the door, she was no-where to be seen.

The other scene in that episode was like: The host is with a girl on a terrace of some building

He takes out a locket and says that he can control anyone with it.

He points at a guy crossing the road below and mutters "Slip and fall" And the guy slips and fall on the ground.

He repeats similar things and also ask that girl to try it, like pointing at someone she mutterrd "Yawn" And the person standing in the distance yawned.

Please if someone knows about this show, do write it down. I think the show/episode was called "The Hauntings" And the episode was 'vampire' something. If not on Nat Geo, maybe I saw it on History TV

The Only Compliment I’ve Ever Gotten… from a Kid
