Display Current Date and Time in C#

In this exercise, you will create a program that displays the current date and time in a specific format. The format should be as follows:
"Today is 6 of February of 2015. It's 03:23:12".

The program will use C#'s built-in DateTime class to fetch the current system date and time, and then format it according to the required pattern. This exercise is a good way to practice working with date and time formatting in C#, which is useful in a variety of applications such as logging, user interfaces, and reporting.
