Daylight Savings In Pakistan
Really quick before I go to bed. This post on Karachi Metroblogs had me giggling like an eight year-old girl:
It appears that this confusion is going to remain for a good while as some people are just not willing to comply with the DST application. I spent an hour yesterday convincing my grand mother to set her clocks forward but she has refused to do so as according to her, there is only one time not two times.Contributors/readers in Pakistan: how's the DST thing working out so far? Are people slowly but surely getting around to it? Completely ignoring it? Is it having an effect on electricity supply?
