Sunset at 16:15

Why is it that every Indian is immensely shocked by this? Everyone knows that there are parts of the world that brood in darkness for half a year even.. Yet, there is something about a late Sunrise and an early Sunset in bustling places like Britain (read London) that tend to awe Indian people. What is it?! Maybe it's the fact that you can hardly tell the shortest day apart from the longest one in India.. We don't get extra hours to sleep here, if that's what you're thinking!
