How to use the online alarm clock
One in the afternoon is lunch, and in a country where most of the workforce eats at a desk or in a food court, it is also the single busiest hour for delivery riders. Demand is concentrated enough that a request made at ten past one and the same request at half past are two different waits.
Schools are beginning to release their younger year groups around this part of the day, and the first wave of the afternoon school run is already forming on the residential roads. In many households the alarm at this hour is set by whoever is not doing the pick-up, as the reminder to leave.
On a Friday the hour is emptier than any other in the week: government work has finished, the congregational prayer is under way or just concluding, and the roads around the larger mosques are parked solid for half an hour before clearing completely. Every minute from 1:00 pm to 1:59 pm is listed below as its own page.
