Thanks for your response,  
Still i am very confuse my requirement is like a user save there  
timezone,  
then whenever he logs in he should see the time as per wat he set in  
timezone currently it displaying my system timezone.

So what excatly i’ll need to do? Do i need to create a method in which  
i’ll  
need to set the timezone?

If you store the timezone as part of the user model, displaying the  
appropriate local time would just be:  
@user.tz.now
