Apparently inspired by the 2-in-1 music system of yesteryears and a keen desire to do something different, a Lucknow-based vegetable vendor has designed a clock which can denote the time of eight countries, including India. He recently gifted one such clock to Champat Rai, the general secretary of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, ahead of the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.The clock designed by 52-year-old Anil Kumar Sahu has become the centre of attraction at the vegetable market near Hahnemann crossing, with curious vegetable buyers, onlookers and fellow shopkeepers constantly enquiring about the working of the clock. The clock denotes the time of India, Dubai (United Arab Emirates), Tokyo (Japan), Moscow (Russia), Beijing (China), Singapore, Mexico City (Mexico), Washington DC and New York (USA). Explaining the features of the clock, Sahu said, “The specialty of the clock is that it has one hand which denotes both hours and minutes. The second’s hand shows that the clock is functioning properly.
