I was all ready for this once-a-century eclipse at 6:58 a.m. But the time came and went with nothing but a little dimple of shadow in the sun. After I gave up and was getting breakfast around 8, it suddenly darkened to a yellowish glow. ...and yes, I should have guess it. It was then 6:58 a.m. of the old, non-daylight-savings time.
Bangladesh introduced daylight savings time for the first time a couple months ago, and it has largely been a fiasco. Most people still seem to operate on the old 'actual' time, rather than new 'digital' time. (Phone companies cooperated with the government, so everyone's cell phone did switch over.) Universities protested and refused to switch time. The eclipse is not the first scheduling mishap it has caused.
The picture is bbc's -- but that is somewhat like what I saw at 7 a.m. digital time.
