How This Pair Actually Operates

Chennai and Kiev have a dependable shared block, but the good slot is narrow enough that lunch, late starts, and DST drift can still damage meeting quality.

Live with guardrails

This pair still supports live work, but the useful band is narrow enough that calendars should be built around the overlap instead of hoping ad hoc slots remain usable.
