Here is my new second post after a month.
Time-label in top-left corner is added by me.
This one month was awesome as I worked on few bugs and my one patch for a bug of gnome-clocks is committed.That day it was really awesome feeling when the code written by me was pushed on master branch of gnome-clocks. Thereafter I started looking for GSoC projects and I found gnome-weather interesting. Again I switched from gnome-clocks to gnome-weather. I sent an e-mail to the mentor of this project Giovanni Campagna and he responded to my e-mail and motivated me to work on gnome-weather. Then I built it without any trouble as I was quite familiar by that time with how to deal with building errors. Then I started hacking its code and looking for bugs. First of all what I noticed is the odd behaviour of "ADD" button in new-location dialog-box and I used gnome-clocks so I found that it should work in the same manner as gnome-clocks. So I filed a bug and submitted patch for it and during that I came across one bug of libgweather which I reported to paolo and he solved it. Finally Giovanni modified my patch and pushed the code.Then I found that the idea of showing local-time in cityview was proposed so I started working on it and talked to gnome-design team and they guide as to where to show the time-label and according to that I made changes and submitted patch for it. It has been reviewed once and I got some suggestions about it and I've made changes according to that and submitted the new patch. It is yet to be reviewed. Let's see what happens. Now going for a new fish :P

Label showing duplicate-alarm warning is added by me :)
