Diwali Greeting to you and your loved ones too @Vergennes :-)

:D i realized that too, but please understand i'm closing to 40 years of age and with my doctor constantly reminding me of weight issues, i try to steer clear of rich and delectable food that Mughal cuisine stands for. A small thought on Hinduism. I personally don't think any religion is...

Mostly the same and off course the regional produce affects the taste and composition of any dish. I can't say much about cuisine of Mountain areas of Pakistan (@WAJsal you can tell better) but as far as plains are concerned, cuisine of Punjab on both sides is very similar. The biggest...

Except for baklawa (which is Turkish), all types sweets using milk, nuts and Chocolate are made. Owing to our shared culinary heritage a there are a lot of sweets common to both India and Pakistan and these are available all around the country. & while we are at it, Festive Greeting to you!

Commissioning trials should begin in second half of 2019

Nice explanation about commonality in almost all Fifth Generation fighters.:tup:

Please also say a silent prayer and thank those brave sons of country who man this magnificent boat. Also let us not forget those faceless and silent nuclear engineers, scientists and ship builders who persevered for decades amidst sanctions and denial, to bring us this moment of great pride and...

Oh boy! this is heavenly :smitten:

Sir, we'll be happy if every tom dick and harry disguised as Defence analyst (Writer of the article for instance) leave cyberspace.:p:

I wish there are some English translations available. Its a real treat to read about history of Chinese Electric and Diesel Locomotives from 1970 onwards. unfortunately this information is available in scattered form and for people like me who can't read Mandarin, its a great loss :(

Absolute gem if true. India pays for the most advanced ADS on planet in Russian Ruble (which has a rate of 1 Ruble ~1.2 INR) almost completely avoiding US sanctions and not putting stress on Dollar reserve. What more can you ask for? Now i hope we can strike similar deals for Crude Oil Purchase too.

HX3D is such a beautiful loco. Probably in same league as that of LOK 2000 :smitten:

this is important. US can now sleep in peace that a significant cut is made and India can keep on getting Iranian Oil (albeit reduced quantities). All three parties happy. India also gets S 400. In the end each party has reason to believe they got the best deal and ego satisfied. As someone...

:p: Infact i'm planning to host my own talk show Bakar with Bhakt I'll have 2 Celebrity Guests (sipping lassi) Listening (& i mean strictly listening only) my sermons :partay:

Any good English language books on modern Chinese Railways for a reader like me available in market? @AndrewJin @JSCh

Pretty impressive fleet @Vergennes Its good that use of newer technology allows better policing and optimization of resource (mainly man-power) for tackling increased workload. also any idea if Drones are being deployed for surveillance?

Just goes on to prove that good economics always makes up for good politics. irrespective of whether you hate this government or love it, there is no denying that it has moved decisively on many fronts and its this road map which encompasses focus on local manufacturing, improved railroads and...

Looks straight of those Western Spaghetti classic movies of 70s. I really envy Chinese loco pilots who are treated to such stunning views from sea coasts, to snow kissed mountains and majestic rugged terrains. This is called Merry Go Round arrangement. It is usually employed as a substitute...

The fastest loco on IR is here :yahoo: WAP 5 (HS sub class) rated at 200 kph. @Nilgiri

This is in addition to endurance testing. Before certifying a new vehicle, designers carryout oscillation and ride quality test apart from usual safety tests such as braking, acceleration and stability. This is carried out (for this specific case) at 110 kph, 180 kph (Kota Sawai madhopur) and...
