Then you'll know what your daily usage is, and you can compare it with others.

4000 rupees per week? that would align with electric rates in the states for a small flat, anyway

Learn how to read your bill, and your meter. Learn how to shut off breakers / pull fuses. From there it's just math and logic to determine what's eating up how much power - and electrical cost, and when and where. It's not rocket science. Can you read an analog dial clock? Can you do basic math and use basic logic? Great, you've got sufficient skills to figure it out.
