Python Time Zone Challenge

This document is a problem description from HackerRank for calculating the time difference between two timestamps in different time zones. It provides two sample timestamps, asks to output the absolute difference in seconds, and gives the explanations for the sample outputs. The goal is to write code that takes two timestamps as input and returns the difference in seconds regardless of the time zones.
