Timezone & Rails
How to configure timezone in Rails
====================================
Database table didn't care about timezone's. It just preserves datetime data.
Hence it is up to (Rails) applications to manage timezone's.
Rails application needs to manage timezone in two ways via configuration - config/application.rb

1. While storing data in DB, which TZ to use
> Allows us to use only :local or :utc TZ's
