Displaying Date Time with Reference to Time

There are lot of .NET helper assemblies that help you represent datetime in more readable formats, such as yesterday, 5 minutes ago, and so on. One of the libraries that I have used is Humanizer from GitHub.

For example, the following line of code will display 5 hours ago:

string text = DateTime.Now.AddHours(-5).Humanize();
