- #saiefamily
	  collapsed:: true
  - I (saie) am inadvertently controlled by my parents. I listen to them and I don't want conflicts. But they insert themselves too much. Sometimes I am unable to point out exactly how and where but I feel the pressure on my head - hovering like a helicopter. I don't know what I can do about it other than tolerating. I let this slide despite my frustrations.
  - I (saie father) am answerable to eveyone about my daughter wedding date. They know that she is now living in Boston with Sid. Having no date leaves many things uncertain and is a source of anxiety and pressure for me.
  - I (saie mom) want to see saie get married asap. So that this is done without any hiccups. As delays worry me.
  - I (Sid) am getting worked up by pressure I feels on my head. An intrusive one from Saie's family. I see that Saie acts passive and like child to allow this intrusion of acting like a grown up and controlling the narrative. She can handle this properly if she is willing to confront it. I am frustrated as it is even hard to discuss this problem with her. She immediately shows hurt and gets emotional. She raises both her hands when I try to dig in. Saie needs to take responsibility or else I will. And it seems I have an internal fury that might get released which will inevitably leave some damage.
- **What comes top of my mind?**
	  collapsed:: true
  - Fury
  - I am laughing now as how confusing these problems are. ==The problems are confusing precisely because people creating the problem are confusing.==. They haven't thought about it. But then now I will have to being entangled in here. Fuck. How this reminds me of Compass. It didn't end well for Raju. Very quickly so, you know.
  - Maybe I should state my own perimeters. But then sometimes I feel I should be ruthless and let the fury out as I see it. This holding back is what is bothering me.
  - What am I holding back?
		  collapsed:: true
  - Rage. Inadvertent interference in my life.
  - #saiefamily drame. Indeed a drama. It's a game. Really.
  - Again. I can't point finger at the root problem. Is it Saie?
  - That's the person I care about most. Hmm. Yes it is her.
  - Then I am holding back my understanding. My conversation with her.
- **What is smallest thing I can do for settling the top of mind thing?**
	  collapsed:: true
  - Talk about it with Saie. Be #gentle. Hmm. Will do. Like a #johri
- **What is the smallest thing I can do to be more in line with who I am?**
	  collapsed:: true
  - Double down on morning discipline. Yes. Do not relent on holidays or vacation days. Summer is over.
- **What first word pops into my mind when I think about today?**
	  collapsed:: true
  - Time to work.
- **What's one good thing about Saie?**
	  collapsed:: true
  - She can surrender
- **What is smallest thing I can do make Saie happy today?**
	  collapsed:: true
  - Help her relax and feel safe at all times
- **What is one thing I like about myself today?**
	  collapsed:: true
  - A strong Adult
- **If I were guaranteed not to fail, what would I be doing differently?**
	  collapsed:: true
  - I would do nothing differently from what I am doing right now. I can't.

- Algo/BST Construction βœ…
	  collapsed:: true
  - I wrote it. 1h15mins. remove function which takes parent parameter. Passed all test cases.
  - This was HARD!. I wanted to give up so many times. I wrote the solution using my own logic. Took some help by peering at the solution and as all test cases passed without much debugging I feel #triumphant. A mini but good one. This shall keep me motivated.
  - Some hard hurdles that needed prompting for me was:
		  collapsed:: true
  - acknowledging that this actually is going to be an ugly and entangled logic. Think of the logic for case by case i.e each edge case at a time helps.
  - The core trick on finding min value to replace a node. This is BST knowledge that I could not have come up in 30 mins.
  - The idea to pass the parent node. I would have struggled without it and would have tried to solve it without this hadicap
  - Small things like adding a simple recursive helper function to getMinValue
			  collapsed:: true
    - Using remove() to actually remove the minValue as well
    - How to detect is current node is left or right of parent. These were all hiccups that I had to get through.
  - I shall #revisit this problem for an iterative solution next time around.
- Algo/Validate BST
	  collapsed:: true
  - Hm. Ok did seem easy. recursive validate. Wrote code in 10 mins but failing few test cases. Not sure what the catch is. But there is one lol. It's a medium problem.
  - Will time myself tomorrow.

    - CORRECTION: this is a public repo maintained by !DMCA people :)
