Sir, it's just how different people see it.
One is called clock time or ampm time: hours are between 1 and 12, but then you have to specify am or pm, to avoid ambiguity.
The other is called "military" time or 24-hour time: hours are between 0 and 24, but you don't need to specify am or pm.
We are using ampm time for

blog entries, hours are between 1 and 12, but with am/pm, so 12:30am is 12:30 after midnight, and 12:30pm is 12:30 after noon. For train timetables, we are using military time 0 - 24.
By convention we cannot use 00:42am, since that would be wrong for common time.
That is how computers see it. As a validation of the above, you can see your Windows digital clock on your own personal computer usually (at the bottom right corner). After midnight, you will see that your own PC or laptop tells you that the current time is 12:30AM, etc. It will not say 00:30AM.

All of Mr. Kapadia's views (including the above) are welcome. His frank feedback has helped a lot with the site design. Even in this case, I am happy to enlighten. Please, everyone, do continue with your suggestion. I am not removing your post, since you also seem to be following the site closely.
However, sir, please do not discourage Mr. Kapadia. He has now become a valuable member of the forum. You yourself may also sign in. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your response.
Actually the blog entry was borne out of a divided opinion at my end and it was so considered looking at the train time table timings which follow the 24 hr time format. However the blog section, as correctly pointed out by you, is following 12 hr am/pm format and hence no question for any zero hour. The matter stands clarified and regret for inconvenience.
