Timely Intervention

Imagine this scenario: you are surfing through your favourite movie channel, which is running the trailers of the upcoming movies. You eagerly watch out for the timings of your favourite ones so that you don’t miss them. But much to your dismay, the time is not displayed as “Pakistan Standard Time” or PST. Instead, it is given according to the timings of some other country and you are totally clueless about the time difference between the two countries.

In the past, such a scenario would have meant seeking help from the family members or friends who may know the correct time conversion. Or you would painstakingly calculate the conversion yourself by assuming that if a certain movie aired at ‘x’ time, then when will the ‘y’ movie be aired. The Internet has changed all of that. Now, instead of fretting over the time being given in some country’s standard, you can simply log onto websites like Time Zone Converter, and trust them to do the conversion job for you.

Time Zone Converter is a pretty simple website. All you need to do from the homepage is to select your desired country’s time zone. The question it asks you is, “What time is it in?” and then presents a drop down box filled with almost all the countries in the world. Whichever country you select, the website will give you the exact time in that country at the moment. So it is easy to calculate the time difference, and find out which movie will be aired at what time.

Of course this time conversion phenomenon isn’t exclusively related to movies alone. There are many sport channels that show timings which need to be converted into PST. With Time Zone Converter, there is no need to worry about missing your favourite match, being aired live. You can simply convert the timings. While you are going through the schedule of play and timings in one window, you can simply open the converter in another window and convert timings as you go along.

There is much more in Time Zone Converter than simple on-the-spot time conversion. If you are about to travel to some other country, can simply select the relevant options from the website, and print out a reference card. The reference card can serve as a helping tool when travelling abroad and will enable you to be in touch with time zones all around the world.

There are some external links as well, if you are interested in reading more on the subject. Specifically, you can access maps of certain regions plus read all about how the system of time measurement has evolved from history. So at the end of the day, there is a pretty handy and useful website for you to check out whenever the need arises.
