Best times to propose
- 1. 2pm in Bangalore · 10am in Berlin — Comfortable mid-day slot on both sides
- 2. 3pm in Bangalore · 11am in Berlin — Comfortable mid-day slot on both sides
- 3. 1pm in Bangalore · 9am in Berlin — Right at the edge of someone's day
Avoid 9am Bangalore time and 10am Bangalore time — inside working hours locally but outside them for the other city.
When the gap changes in the next twelve months
- Sunday, October 25, 2026 — Berlin goes from 3 hours 30 minutes behind to 4 hours 30 minutes behind Bangalore.
- Sunday, March 28, 2027 — Berlin goes from 4 hours 30 minutes behind to 3 hours 30 minutes behind Bangalore.
Recurring meetings set as a fixed clock time in one city will move by an hour for the other on these dates.
Public holidays to avoid
Dates where one side is off work while the other is not are the most common cause of no-shows on this route.

- Saturday, October 3, 2026 — German Unity Day — Berlin is off, Bangalore is working.
- Saturday, October 31, 2026 — Reformation Day — Berlin is off, Bangalore is working.

With 5 shared working hours, Bangalore and Berlin can run standing meetings without anyone giving up an evening — as long as the slot sits inside that window on both sides of the next clock change.
Sending a booking link avoids the arithmetic entirely: each side picks a time in their own zone and both calendars get the correct local time, including after a daylight-saving change. See how LemCall handles cross-timezone bookings.
