Now Men fear the worst when wives requests to open the cap of her gas cylinder after failing miserably to open the same, with a harassed and helpless look. We must confess this is the most embarrassing moment . Today we could not hold my frustration , when after acute struggle , we all together could put our acumen, technique, efforts and prayers succeeded in opening the cap. This is not a one off case, it happens most of the times, - If I have to put a number its 80% times . That’s really very very serious. I am sure that I and my family alone am not suffering from this problem and am sure that this problem must have been highlighted earlier as well. This problem must also have been escalated in your own household and in your neighborhood Kindly think of the plight of millions of housewives which have to go through this travail every month. I am sure that with the advancement in technology , there must be so better way to fix the cap, so that it can be opened easily without use of force or technique or special expertise. I am sure that in advanced countries better solution must have been developed by now. The real test of a correct cap would be only when the cap can be opened by a 10 year old child I request you to kindly look into this problem personally and resolve the same. Meanwhile Kindly acknowledge receipt of my mail and in case you are not responsible, kindly help me by forwarding this mail to concerned officials. Kindly note that this mail in no manner is intended to pass any adverse remark and the intent is to highlight a very serious problem and hope should be very simple to resolve.
