We were having a conversation about Eastern & Western music and he brought up something unusual. He said that the time of the day you play Sitar influences the kind of music that comes out. What he meant was that there are certain music compositions that can only be played well at a certain time of the day. I did not believe an ounce of it and I still don't. Wondering what you guys think..
I think your friend was right!

Many Hindustani (North Indian) rāgas are prescribed for the particular time of a day or a season. When performed at the suggested time, the rāga has its maximum effect.
