Yes Devi friends can be “variable” indeed. They can also be public and private, static and abstract. :)

At this point I really didnt know what to write. I forgot about it till evening. But I couldnt give up. The easiest way I can think of is to touch upon the variable types left by my friend. For some unknown reason the word serializable flashed in my mind. Then...

Something caught my attention. When I told my friends about this they were uncontrollably laughing at the "serializable" part which made me feel like a jacka**.
But wait.... thats not the joke, thats not even a word.
Yes its not a word according to the spellcheck option in MS Outlook. It was spitting a bizzarre red underline when I wanted to type serializable. It was expecting something else. I couldnt contain my laughing when I saw what it was suggesting.
Surely someone at MS is horny.
Later my friend told me that they might be too advanced and making software capable of reading our thoughts. err ! (I thought they were making efforts or inclined towards increasing the well-being of humankind... read philanthropy.)
And to see what it was expecting just try it out for yourself. Try it. Try it.
I still cannot understand someone really "thought" that I would write it that way ;-)
