Selecting a date from Datepicker using Selenium WebDriver

Calendars look pretty and of course they are fancy too.So now a days most of the websites are using advancedjQuery Datepickers instead of displaying individual dropdowns for month,day,year. :P

If we look at the Datepicker, it is just a like a table with set of rows and columns.To select a date ,we just have to navigate to the cell where our desired date is present.

Step 1:  Here I am taking Sample Website "http://www.cleartrip.com/"
step 2:  Here we can able to select date whatever we want( This is pure dynamic)
step 3:  Here I am Implementing all my logic in 'genericDatePicker()' Method. This method i am   passing date(date format should be dd/mm/yyyy).
step 4: Here First I am Clicking Calendar field and then i am getting Month/Year.
Step 5: I have written Enum method(I am assigning Number to every Month)
Step 6: After that I am calculating total months.
Step 7: Finally I am Clicking the Date From DatePicker..

Here is a sample code on how to pick a 26/10/2016..
