I mentioned gas cylinder above, and one may be tempted to think we used propane gas for cooking in our homes. Far from it. At Bhachu’s hardware, that was where we first saw a gas cylinder. There were only two kinds. Afri Gas from Shell Petroleum Company, and Agip Gas from Agip. Those were the tall 15 kg cylinders, both navy blue in color. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You know how stories circulate about new things that people are not familiar with. Propane Gas was one of those.
