My system clock uses IST, which is how I want it.

However, I want to display a clock for my purposes set to my local time.
Otherwise, I'm always doing mental arithmetic to figure out the time!

Is your local time supposed to be different than IST?

Just wondering if you've got a time zone variable mis-set somewhere.

Unless you're dual-booting the PC, it's normal (for Unix like systems)
to run the clock on GMT, but *display* the time as suits your location.
You can change your location as much as you like, and that doesn't
affect logging or file timestamps adversely.
