Earlier today, Narendra Modi and his Japanese counterpart, Shinzo Abe, broke ground for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed rail project, thus putting into motion India's first bullet train service.
There aren't many details out yet other than the technical specs. But, even though the launch is still five years away, people have wasted no time joking about it already:
