Why Facebook wants me to befriend Swapna Singh ( name changed)

Every time I open my Facebook home page I see some unknown girl whom facebook wants me to befriend.  What algorithm is facebook using, like today's girl, her profile doesn't say anything, the photo shows her with a 1 year old  baby in her lap . Sometimes it is some other single girl. Most of the time they are not even from Bangalore.


There is nothing in my profile , I have stated I am married to Sumika Mukerji with a heart sign showing after we publicly acknowledged our marriage on facebook. I have not checked that I am interested in "Man" , "Woman", I have not checked that I am in facebook for networking , friendship , relationship anything.

Why .......

Recruiting people / Buying Potatoes

I thought I would be off social media for a month, but something so egregious happened that I had to blog.

Just today a placement consultant called me for a position in a really well known company.  The first question was - Are you interested, no sweat off my back, I said yes, the 2nd question - what is your CTC, to which I responded that it was too early in the day. Then he  said that he  will send me the JD, and asked me to send my CV. Then again the same question " What is my CTC". I felt  that are we buying potatoes ( which also are not equivalent) that the only factor should be previous CTC.
