During our recent visit to usa it was made compulsory that I get up by 7 AM daily ,wake up my spouse .She used to brush teeth and get me filter coffee made within five minutes.The addiction to coffee is so much that we never drink tea offered anywhere.In India especially in Chennai Sunlight used to be seen early and hence I used to get up by 6 AM ...make coffee and drink.
It was today the 6 th November,when I got up at 7 AM I was told the time clock should be rolled back by one hour on account of Time changes in various Time zones in USA.Conseqently time was one hour behind,I had to wait for one more hour to get my Coffee.It doesn't happen in India.It is a time saving measure implemented in USA and some other countries.....
