Nepal has to got to be in the weirdest time zone I know. Even weirder than Adelaide.
More importantly, I find it rather annoying that when setting one's time zone in online profiles (Blogger) included, Nepal's time zone isn't included. How often do you see (UTC+05:45) in a drop down menu anyway? So even though all my posts here are time-stamped according to standard India time, the time stamp is always 15 minutes late.
If only things in the subcontinent were that reliably behind schedule!
(But at least the time here makes sense when you consider when the sun rises and when it sets. When I was living in Xinjiang, most people observed Beijing time, but there was a local 'Xinjiang time' that was 2 hours behind. When I was in NE India, Delhi time was followed, even though the NE states are further east than Bangladesh, which is already half an hour ahead of Delhi.)
