@Sandeep: Without storing explicit pointer to last element, how would you be
able to access last element in a  Singly Linked List in O(1) ??? Is there
any parallel data structure that needs to be maintained ?? and if it is
larger than size of 2 explicit pointers to last and first elements then 2
pointer strategy is obviously better !!
