Please let us know what version of Ubuntu you are running.

You might want to sync to ntp servers.

When you right click & adjust date and time:

Configuration: Keep syncronized with internet servers
Time Servers: Select Servers (click)

The time servers list will come up, select an appropriate server for
your region. I highly recommend using the ntp.org pool servers:

http://ntp.org/

>From your IP, you appear to be in New Delhi, so you'd use an npt.org
server from your region:

http://ntp.org/
 http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome
  http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers
   http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/asia
    http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/in

The server for India is: in.pool.ntp.org You can try that one, however:

There are not enough servers in this zone, so we recommend you use the
Asia zone (asia.pool.ntp.org):

   server 0.asia.pool.ntp.org
   server 1.asia.pool.ntp.org
   server 2.asia.pool.ntp.org
   server 3.asia.pool.ntp.org
</quote>

So, back to the time server interface; you'd enter and check these
servers by clicking the "Add" button:

0.asia.pool.ntp.org
then "Add"
1.asia.pool.ntp.org
then "Add"
2.asia.pool.ntp.org

Make sure that you check the servers you've just added. Uncheck any
default server that may have been previously checked.

Note: in order for this to work you'll need an "always on" connection
(cable, dsl etc).
