Daylight Saving Time begins: March 14

The Daylight Saving Time begins on the second Sunday of March. This year it is on March 14th at 2 am i.e. tonight, which means setting our clocks one hour ahead. So Sunday will have 23 hours instead of 24. That means one hour of less sleep....not good. And that also makes the summer days longer by one hour. It is also indicative of the advent of spring.

All these changes in time makes it so difficult. You have to keep in mind the time difference between U.S. and India, hufff !! And in India, we are not used to this concept of changing the time. But anyways, its for a good cause of saving energy. Daylight Saving Time (DST) is followed in most of the states in U.S. except in Hawaii, U.S. Virgin Islands, Arizona.

All said, Spring is here, which means respite from all the snow and chilly winds. So, losing one hour is not a big deal. What say?.....

March 14th - 1:30 a.m.

We have set the time one hour ahead in my phone, in the kitchen and room clock too. So the Daylight Saving Time has begun.
