Coffee on board

I was flying Air India Express from Varanasi to Chennai. I asked for two coffees—just two coffees, not a plot of land. The airhostess looks at me, curiously  and says, “Sir, ₹400.”


I said, “Okay… do you want it in cash, UPI, or should I mortgage my luggage?”

She comes back with the coffee, but again: “Sir, it’s ₹400.”

At this point, I started checking the cup—maybe there’s a diamond ring inside?

And then she says it the third time. So I finally asked her, “Madam, should I drink the coffee first or pay first? Because doing both together might cause turbulence.”

Even the passengers around laughed—though quietly… they didn’t want to be charged for “laughing onboard.”
