I had no idea what daylight savings was before coming to the US in November few years back. And soon after, when I was asked to set our clocks one hour back, it baffled and tickled me.
I still don’t get the concept behind it though, but love it when the clocks go back. So, yesterday was our daylight savings day and from now, if it is 10:30 am in the morning here, it will be aprox 10.00pm at night in India. Cool, isn’t it! It will stay like this until Spring and then the clocks will move one hour ahead. Baffling, yes and fun too!

We had ours too. An hour back 2:00 pm on Saturday night. Easier than gaining an hour though.

Ours changed a week or so ago. I think here it supposed to have something to do with having lighter mornings for the kiddies going to school. Though there is much discussion!

Out of interest I Googled it – most of North America and Europe, parts of South America and parts of the Middle East use it 🙂

Well main reason behind this is, earth is titled on its axis by around 23.5 degree therefore area beyond tropics receive sunrays for more time and less time in summer and winter respectively unlike in tropics where difference is only marginal. So winter clock is set back so as to use daylight efficiently.

I know what you mean. It still baffles me too. I wish they would leave the time alone. It is hard to explain to my dog and cat that the time has changed so they get their nighttime treat an hour later.

It really is! They really do have time clocks in their head. They know exactly when it is time for certain things!

This is so interesting. I am not much of animal lover, I like them from a distance but my husband loves them. We have been thinking of having a pet. Is it too much of a hard work, PJ?

If you get a puppy it will be some work to get them potty trained and manner trained. But I love animals – especially dogs – so it is worth it to me. Getting an older dog is much less work.

Oh, and also.. getting an older animal is not only less work but more rewarding because you have saved them from being killed or caged for life. The older dogs know this and are very grateful to their owners.

Thank you for all this great information PJ. Will share it with husband. Also who takes care of pets if we go on vacation. We don’t have family here so would not know whom to trust.

Take your pet with you on vacation, if possible. If not, then you would need to find a pet care facility that would board it while you are gone.
