Time Change....

Daylight Saving Time begins each year at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday of March. We need to Move clocks ahead one hour at the start of Daylight Saving Time.

Standard Time begins each year at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of November. We need to Move clocks back one hour at the resumption of Standard Time. Daylight Saving time and Time zones are regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation, not by NIST.

In 2009, Daylight Saving Time begins on March 8 and ends on Nov.1.

So the TV news, and everywhere this is the buzzword now, asking/reminding all to keep a track of the time....There is a loss/gain of time....

So long the difference between India and US was 10.30 hours, going forwad it would be 9.30 hours (i.e. India is -2.5 + 12 for easy calculation)

They say it is for the farmers...and help save energy....Moreover there are five different time zones within US itself.

Guess what would happen if there would be such a situation in India!!!
