Some trivia related to Timezones [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone#Trivia] 1. In terms of area, China is the largest country with only one time zone (UTC+8), although before the Chinese Civil War in 1949 China was separated into five time zones. The next largest country with only one time zone is India (UTC+5:30). China also has the widest spanning time zone. 2. Also Nepal has a time zone which is 15 minutes ahead of India. AFAIK this was done due to political reasons. 3. UTC 4:51 was used in Bombay until 1955 when it closed the gap of 39 minutes behind Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30). --> Vinayak H
