Hello Varun, thanks for your interest in the project.
But why this patch?
It's a requirement to document the "why?" for submitting any
patch to any project.

As a human with degraded eyesight, I see leading zeros from
%H as visual noise which makes numbers harder to read.
%k uses a leading space instead of zero, but still uses two
digits for >=10 hours. Pretty much any digital clock or timer
in the real world behaves the same way.
