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.
