-(void)start {

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults ]setObject:[NSDate date] forKey:@"startTimer"];

 Nstimer*   timer2=[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1 target:self selector:@selector(timerFired) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
}
-(void)timerFired
{
      @try {
    NSDate *timerStartDate = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]objectForKey:@"startTimer"];


NSTimeInterval interval=[timerStartDate timeIntervalSinceNow];

int hour1=-interval/3600;

int rem =((int)interval)%3600 ;

int min1 = -rem/60 ;

int sec1 = -rem %60 ;

// NSLog(@"hour %i  rem %i",hour,rem);    
// NSLog(@"hour%i",hour1);
// NSLog(@"min%i",min1);
// NSLog(@"sec%i",sec1);


NSString *strmin=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i",min1];
NSString *strhour=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i",hour1];

if ([strmin integerValue]<10)
{
    [lblSeconds setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"0%@",strmin]];
}
else 
{
    lblSeconds.text=strmin;

}
if ([strhour integerValue]<10) {
    [lblHour setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"0%@",strhour]];
}
else
{
    lblHour.text=strhour;

}

}
@catch (NSException *exception) {
    NSLog(@"exception in timer %@ ",[exception description]);

}
  return;   
}
