Like your Indian quote, but actually it is worse than this.
They (gov’t) take one hour away 7 months(Spring) of the year and add one hour 5 months(Fall) of the year.
If they only would balance the year, 6 months spring forward and 6 months fall back. No, we actually lose one hour for approximately one month, 30 hours, roughly a loss of 1.4 days a year. We lose this time every single year.
