Sorry- No Bachelors - Part I

                                                                    If you are a youngster and more importantly a bachelor looking for a rented flat or a house in any city, I am sure you must have invariably come across and read these most 'teasing' boards outside the gates of several houses and housing societies. I cannot explain how these boards hung outside hurt your self-esteem. It seems as if we bachelors are the only villains in the world out to destroy the social fabric of the society.. Why do we see these 'derogatory' or 'insulting' words written on boards outside houses?? According to me, we have to face these disrespectful words for one simple reason - the general conception of the landlords about bachelors are that they are noisy, undisciplined, messy and will create a nuisance. It is these prejudices that make it difficult for a single man or even a woman to move to an unknown city or a rented house, howsoever educated or disciplined he/she may be. E
