    I use this trick quite often. Google gives you the time anywhere in the world.

    How to get time in any country or place using Google?

    Again, the trick is very simple. If you want to get current GMT time, type -

    "GMT Time" in Google and search - Google's search result page will show the current GMT Time.

    If you want to know what time is it now in Chicago, type

    "Current Time In Chicago" - and Google will show you the current time in Chicago. Cool, right?

    With the trend of it, looks like Google is using BDD (Behavioral driven Development).
    So, anything that will result in one answer will be show as the first Bold Actionable / result in Google. Lets take an example:

    "Indian president" will result in Pranab Mukherjee

    "US President" - Answer would be Barack Obama

    Similarly, "india's capital" - Delhi

    -CB
