Holi

Holi the festival of colors!! Well in down South , you wouldn't even come to know it is Holi except when you see few North Indian kids working here putting some colors so soberly.This reminds me of how this is so unlike up north where its like some fight, rage or battle to be won...people chase the victim, color him ruthlessly or dunk him taking all revenge on his hair, face or whatever part of the body they can catch hold of...but its fun to watch till you are not one amongst them;-) I am not a big fan of Holi but I enjoy watching people play it...from a distance.


So it was all a peaceful working day for me till I reached back to my place and found my friend smiling and waiting for me on the door.In that dim night light, I couldnt see any evidence of colors on her which would have probably warned me of her intentions but finally I had it all over me....my hair,face....dress,bag everywhere....and I stood there wondering what to do next:-) 

After seeing her off, while I was climbing back the stairs of my house, I realized the Aunty who owns the place had been watching us.So I wished her as usual and smiled.But the look in her eyes showed clear disapproval for all such indecent stuff;-) This reminded me of a Holi day in Delhi.We had just shifted to Delhi and my dad ventured out to get some groceries.He was confident that it was afternoon and people would have been done with their Holi celebrations by now.But just when he returned home safely to open the door, an aunty staying in the same building few floors up, overturned a bucket of colored water over him....shouting "Bhaisaab bura mat maaniye...aaj holi hain".As I went ahead to help him with his bags, water dripped from his glasses and I couldn't help laughing ;-)

Technical Interview Screen

Which is better - singly linked list or doubly linked list? What are the pros and cons of using each? In a Singly Linked List each node has pointer just to the next node and hence can be traversed  in only one direction whereas in a Doubly Linked List, each node has pointers to both previous and next nodes , hence can be traversed in both directions.While this kind of traversal makes deletion of nodes easier from a doubly linked list , because we now don’t have to traverse from head and keep track of previous node but it consumes more memory since it now has to store two pointers as compared to one in case of Singly Linked List. function remove_node_singlyLinkedList(head, node)    tempnode = head    while (tempnode->next != node)        tempnode = tempnode->next    tempnode->next = node->next end function          Time Complexity - O(N) function remove_node_doublyLinkedList(node)    node->prev->next = node->next    node->next->prev = nod

Natural Face Pack

All my life I have been using regular face packs readily available in drug stores and online store. The results are great but a slight problem. They contain a lot of chemicals that may not harm you right away but slow exposure to some of these carcinogens can impact your health. Some of us may live longer with no health issues but for some of us exposure to these chemicals can cause some gene mutations and that could lead to some serious health issues. Hence since last few years of my life I have been doing my by best to remove exposure to chemicals from my day to day life. That includes perfume, deodorants, make up stuff and hair dyes.Of all these I miss the hair dye the most because I loved experimenting with my hair color. Also miss my Channel perfume, I simply loved its subtle but intriguing fragrance. Past few days my face was looking dull and full of wrinkles. So I missed my face packs and face peels. I was online searching for some natural options when I bumped into Apsara sk
