Satshriakaal Mausam,
I woke up on sunday morning and was confused that how the time on the laptop and cellphone had a one hour difference. A little googling helped me understand the catch that it was that time of the year when all americans are asked to stop their watches for 1 hour. I find this activity rather absurd. It looks so primitive. I tried to find online about the reasons behind this ritual but did'nt find any suitable explanation.
On sunday evening I slept at midnight because that's the time I usually sleep. I was quite tired unlike regular evenings coz my body clock still considered the time to be 1 a.m. and as habit would have it I woke up at 7 am coz that is what my body clock was used to now but the clock had struck 6 instead. The whole day I had the sickening feeling and kept questioning myself about the logic behind this one hour time difference. I kept arguing with myself that "People can stop the clocks for one hour but they cannot stop the body clock of a person for anytime at all". I was about to label the daylight saving time activity as another of America's "we are different" policies but then I chanced upon looking here and realised americans are not the only ones.My body clock says itz 12:30 in the night, so time to sleep.
Regards,
Ajj Kaim

Ya, I felt that too, kinda like a mini-jetlag feeling!! :)
its mainly for "saving day-light" .. its just that during winter compared to summer.. the sun comes up late.. and that means the farmers.. the morning commuters.. the paper boy .. the young girl down the street who starts work at 6am... the school children who need to take buses.. and many others who have lives to get to as early as 5 am .. dont have to walk in the dark down the alleys... in the subways... around the corner.. in "that" part of the town :)
