It's a good question. Instead of learning about old lady of amsterdam who created a weird projection, daylight saving time , apart from problems to, our childrens' health and sleep and work, also affects us, because the calls made to india by mid night which is our sleeping time ; and other than the time of communications abroad, the off site projects with foreign nations by indian software employed who happened to be our kith and kin only , had to adopt their timings. At any cost, the difference in clock, might cause some problems; but once we are used to it , well our bio-c;ock changes and adopts; but every year minimum twice , if we were to adopt , at the old age , because of inevitability, indirectly we are also affected mentally. Is it not better than that weird information about some old lady ? KR IRS 21824
