How to show date and time in your history command using environment variable HISTTIMEFORMAT

It usually happens with me that I am trying out a cli based tool or learnt some new trick, it works fine then, but later I can hardly recall what I did . In such cases, all I remember is either a part of the command or the time while I was doing it. I always wondered if we could get more out of the history command - days, time etc. After searching a little, I found that it is actually possible and could be done pretty easily.
