About BDST (Bangladesh Standard Time)
Bangladesh Standard Time (BDST) is the single time zone used across Bangladesh, fixed at UTC+06:00 all year.

Dhaka, the capital, is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Because the country sits close to the middle of the UTC+06:00 band, solar noon is near 12:00 for most of the year. BDST is listed separately from British Summer Time, which shares the BST abbreviation but is UTC+01:00.
About PST (Pacific Standard Time)

The Pacific Time Zone is home to Silicon Valley and the world's largest technology companies. During summer, clocks advance to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-07:00). PST is also observed in Baja California, Mexico.
