India's first engineless train touches 180kmph in tests

India's first locomotive-less less train, known as Train 18, breached the 180 kmph speed limit during a test run on Sunday, a senior railway official said here.

When this Rs 100-crore indigenously designed train is made operational, it will become the country's fastest train.

"Train 18 breached the 180 kmph speed limit in the Kota-Sawai Madhopur section. The major trials are now over, with just some more remaining. Based on the reports, fine tuning would be done if needed. As of now no major technical problem has cropped up," S Mani, General Manager of Integral Coach Factory (ICF) that has manufactured the train, said.

"We expect Train 18 to commence its commercial run from January 2019. Normally the trials take three months. But now it is happening faster than expected," Mani added.

If all things go well, Train 18 will replace the current Shatabdi Express - a day train. Train 18 is capable of touching 200 kmph provided the rest of Indian Railways' system such as tracks and signals permit, officials said.

The ICF will roll out one more Train 18 this fiscal and four by the next fiscal.

On October 29, the high-tech, energy-efficient, self-propelled (engine-less) train was flagged off here by Railway Board Chairman Ashwani Lohani.

With 16 coaches, the train will have the same passenger carrying capacity as that of the Shatabdi Express.

It has aerodynamically designed driver cabins at both ends for quicker turn-around at destinations.

The train sports an advanced regenerative braking system which saves power.

The fully air-conditioned train offers better passenger comfort and safety, as all equipment are fixed under the carriage, so that more space is available on board, officials said.

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas head to Jodhpur for wedding festivities

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra and International music sensation Nick Jonas will soon join the 'newly-wedded' clan. Pee Cee and Nick are all set to tie the knot in Jaipur's Umaid Bhawan on December 2.

The wedding will most likely be a three-day affair with the mehendi and sangeet ceremonies taking place today and tomorrow.

The couple was recently spotted at Kalina airport, heading to Jodhpur for the wedding festivities. While Priyanka wore a traditional off-white suit, Nick was seen in a lether jacket, white tee and trousers.

The bride-to-be was all smiles as she posed for the paparazzi and we couldn't be more thrilled for her! Priyanka and Nick's wedding has been awaited upon for quite some time now.

The couple performed a traditional Ganesh Puja yesterday,  giving an auspicious start to the wedding celebrations.

Much like DeepVeer, NickYanka is reportedly going to have two wedding ceremonies—a Hindu and Christian one respectively. Reportedly, the couple will exchange vows in a Christian ceremony on December 3, 2018, at Umaid Bhawan—the day after their Hindu wedding.

The stunner of an actress will reportedly wear Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla for her wedding and a Ralph Lauren for her Christian wedding. The duo will also exchange their dazzling Tiffany & Co. bands.

Pee Cee and Nick made their relationship as well as engagement official by sharing pictures from their roka ceremony in August this year. Things have escalated quickly for the two as it was only last year that reports of them dating each other had surfaced.

Here's extending heartfelt wishes to the couple!

Prithvi Shaw suffers injury scare ahead of Australia Tests

Shaw twisted his ankle while attempting to take a catch off Australian opener Max Bryant on the deep midwicket boundary during the third day of the tour match.

In a major blow to India ahead of the four-match Test series against Australia, young opening batsman Prithvi Shaw was on Friday carried off the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) after suffering a suspected ankle injury during the lone warm-up match against Cricket Australia XI. 

The 19-year-old twisted his ankle while attempting to take a catch off Australian opener Max Bryant on the deep midwicket boundary during the third day of the tour match. As he was trying to flick the ball back into play, he landed awkwardly with his left ankle bending 90-degrees inwards., cricket.com.au reported. 

Medical staff from both sides immediately rushed to attend Shaw, who visibly appeared to be in a lot of pain. He was subsequently carried off the field by India physiotherapist Patrick Farhart and a support staff member into the dressing room before the match resumed.

Reflecting on Shaw's injury, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that the young batsman was taken to local hospital for scans. 

"The medical team is assessing Prithvi Shaw at the moment. He hurt his left ankle while attempting to take a catch at the boundary ropes. Shaw is being taken to the hospital for scans #TeamIndia," the BCCI tweeted.
