0.5 l milk @ ₹40/l = ₹20
1 small pack of Nescafe coffee = ₹10
2 spoon sugar = ₹2 (@ ₹40 /kg)
LPG gas consumed = ₹ 5 (worst case scenerio)

Total cost of 0.5 l coffee = ₹37

DIY FTW!!!

So a King's son forces him to reveal all his wealth

Then, closely watched by Kalidasa and his guards, he descended the spillway steps, not pausing even at the edge of the lake. When he was waist deep he scooped up the water and threw it over his head, then turned towards Kalidasa with pride and triumph.
"Here, my son," he cried, waving towards the leagues of pure, life-giving water, "here - here is all my wealth!"
"Kill him!" screamed Kalidasa, mad with rage and disappointment.
