understanding that something is overrated is understandable, but it's surprisingly common to see people hate things that are overrated than rate them according to their merits and like them accordingly - hehe

white chocolate mocha is surely underrated :D

OR: Classics, Maniratnam, Tendulkar, Agassi, Williams cysters, Top-10 lists, engineers, ARoy ...
UR: Milagai Podi, Bala, Dravid's record, Belgian Duo (not T&T), managers, non-celeb_NGOs ...

ps: Walk-by-lake, CL Dinner, ValDay in this list?
pps: Shotokan on the list => you'd get gentle treatment on the chudan-uke!

4Tyler: Thats the problem with over-worked brain - just looking for corner cases where obvious exists. So kinda, when the opp comes knocking at your door and stares at your face... Its just J and K (as against the cysters).
