Why people convert Pakistan to COT time

Scheduling a call from Pakistan to COT: a 10:00 AM start in Pakistan lands at 12:00 AM in COT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a -10h gap: Pakistan and COT have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in COT is 11:00 PM in Pakistan.
Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in Pakistan is 10:00 AM in COT makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM PKT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -10h gap is not.
With a -10h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Pakistan takes the early slot, the next week COT does.
