Answer 1

If you'd like to convert your date to a specific Timezone:

deadline.in_time_zone(time_zone)

Here deadline is a date.

In addition, you can find Universal time through your local machine Timezone plus local time and vice verse, like in Karachi - +05:00, you can simply add it to value in Universal time to find time in your time zone or get Universal time from your local time by subtraction of Timezone difference (05:00 in our case) from your local time
