Looking for a rented house

We are actually looking for a house?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The process began 2 months back.
There is a saying that"veeta katti paar, kalyanam panni paar". I would like to add one more caption to this saying.It would be "vadaga veedu thedi paar".
There were 2 specific instances which drove me to this extremity.
The process is as follows:
Acho tomorrow is saturday.We would be waiting for the paperkaaran to arrive.this one is for property plus.Then for the delivery boy of mambalam times-Kadavule namakku seekiram varanume.
Both of them arrived. Now the browsing starts.I would tell my husband 'you try for this and i would try for this'.Before telling the rent of the property they ask you the following questions:
1.Neenga brahmin thaane?
2.IT professionals? ( As though they are the only one who would be giving rent and the rest of them are staying for osi - think these people never need any lawyer, doctor or chartered accountants-ellathukkum IT people pothum pola irukku)
3.How many people - (if u say 3 thats all - oh so much people)
4.Then rite from your gothram to your birth place they will ask everything

Okay let me come to this 1st incident

There was this ad and when contacted asked us to come by 10.00am since that was mahalaya amavasya. Fine. I went there . Oh my god! There were atleast 10 families waiting there. That thatha was standing with all the pooja items behind him. First he asked everyone to give their address and phone number in a diary.Meanwhile he was eliminating the people by these questions -
1.How many people?
One elderly couple said: We 2 only
Reply: Acho you people are as old as we are. We cannot rent to old people. It will land us in unwanted litigations. How can we spend time by seeing each others face alone

Next- One normal couple : We 2 and our father and mother
Reply:Acho. I cannot give for 4 people. imagine 1person utilises 3 bucket of water and so for 4 of you people it would take 12 buckets. so it would be better if it is 3.

Next-One person-Iam looking for my brother,his wife and my mom
Reply:Acho. There are no children. Then sorry i would leave only for persons having a child.

Next-Iam a lawyer witha kid
Reply:Acho.Being myself a lawyer, i have decided that i would leave only for those other than lawyers

My god? i just left the scene without giving my id proof and others though i fall within his conditions.
So tired of writin this one incident-will continue with the second later

But,please next time when looking for a house do go with your passport,jathagam,ration card,etc.
All the very best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS- Iam still looking for a house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
