		list.add("Play");
		list.add("Watch");
		list.add("Glass");
		list.add("Movie");
		list.add("Girl");
		
		Collections.shuffle(list);
		System.out.println("Results after shuffle operation:");
		for(String str: list){

Where can we use serialization?
Whenever an object has to sent over the network, those objects should be serialized. Also if the state of an object is to be saved, objects need to be serilazed.
