Add The Hindu to that.

Rear Window is not over-rated. It is definitely a stunning work which reveals Hitchcock's mastery of the medium. But it happens with almost every work of Hitchcock's. People think he is over-rated. Check out the link below. It is from a series of interviews of Hitchcock by Truffaut. Maybe then you'll agree why it's such a perfect film without any flaws. :)

CA course!!!!! and big fours i must say!!!!

Ducky said...

Raghuvansh,
I think the Crossie's still fair.

N,
Rear Window sucks. I don't know what 'mastery of the medium' you're talking about. I liked other Hitchcock movies well enough.

Nivi,
Sure. Jobs, in general.

Dharik said...

The "fab four" of indian cricket!
totally agree with IITM being there,maybe a bit higher!

S said...

iPods. MacBooks. Hell, Apple. :P

Oh, and The Hindu crossie is sometimes appalling. On the increase, now! :-/

Integrity and Competence

5 stars to chetan - totally overrated

Ducky said...

Dharik,
What da, Sachin back and all, don't rape him now :)

S,
Yeah, Hindu Crossie's hopeless now. I mean, like, hoooopeless

Baille,
Chetan Bhagat in general, yes.

it's baille said...

oh forgot - one more point to the list - Size Zero :D

i_r_squared said...

Monty Panesar too.

Czar said...

Dramatics.

themiddler said...

Haha... IITM eh... Welcome to the club. A coming-of-age-ready-for-the-world (?) insight, atleast for me :)

Ducky said...

Baille,
Size zero doesn't work for Indian chicks man :)

Raghuvansh,
Why randomly raping Monty da. Swann also got carted around only :)

Ducky said...

Czar,
Lovely one :)

Middil,
Ya da. I mean, I know IITM teaches you about life and all, but otherwise, useless :)

i_r_squared said...

Because Swann is proper English. That immediately excuses him from having any ability whatsoever.

Berhael said...

Actually.. More than Derek Jeter.. you should add A-Rod.. and half of his over-ratedness is due to his own highs (yay! i put a pun intended statement)..

Abhishek said...

the self

Marlin Jar said...

I haven't seen Rear Window, but I'd put North by Northwest at #7. Hitchcock fan. But just didn't like it.

Which 'Fairness' do you mean? ;) Justness or vella thoal?

Ducky said...

Raghuvansh,

Good Point dude :)

Berhael,
Heh, A-Rod is the man da. What an utter disrespect to the rules

Ducky said...

Abhishek,

No man. The self is never overrated. Never can be.

N,
N paeru enna? ;) Welcome back.
North by Northwest is pretty cool da. I like the cornfield scene.
And fairness as in justness. Vella thoal rocks ;)

Ducky said...

N,

Wait, are you the same N on the top of this comments section? Cos you I know.
And Dear God, why would you anagram your name on the profile page??!

meteoraqueen said...

Chetan Bhagat! And all IIT turned authors. :x

divya said...

Awesome blog there! But it is blasphemy i cannot support when you sai life is over-rated! ok..difference of opinion, i understand, but what's further blasphemous is Bhagat bringing up the rear!!!! May be tomorrow I will agree with your sequence (moody me!) but LIFE is anythin BUT over-rated!!!
If i may just add the last bit, since we are talking over-rated, I think ice creams are over rated! ;-P (did i mention i love the blog!?! kudos!)

Ducky said...

Divya,

Firstly, thank you :) Not writing as much as I used to, but am glad what I do is readable :)

That list is in no particular order actually. And well, life is pretty broad, it could be overrated at times and not at others. That way no one's wrong ;)
