  NSDate* sourceDate = [NSDate date];
    NSLog(@"Date is : %@", sourceDate);

    NSTimeZone *currentTimeZone = [NSTimeZone localTimeZone];
    NSLog(@"TimeZone is : %@", currentTimeZone);

    NSDateFormatter * dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init]  ;
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz"];
    [dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone systemTimeZone]];

    NSLog(@"%@",[dateFormatter stringFromDate:sourceDate]);
