It was great to see that the good old topic is back. Apparently Department of Science and Technology is once again studying feasibility of two time-zones for India. Last time it was done in 2001 by same DST and was buried in 2004 after 3 years of chai-samosa meetings. We all hope this time w ith a determined government in charge, it will see a logical actionable conclusion sooner. Having spent half of my life in East India and other half in West India so far, I can appreciate and strongly feel the need for it. Few suggestions as noted below in detail: 1. New IST ( UTC+5 ) and an additional Eastern India Time, EIT ( UTC+6) : Unlike USA where the E-W width of the country needing multi-hours apart time zones, India width is smaller compared to US. An 1 hour timezone lag will be good enough for India. East and specially North-East wakes up too early today, but goes to work late and returns from work late. S pecially during winter, West struggles to catch-up business
