You could put the code into a function, in a script and source that script (or put the function into one of your login scripts, and it will be source automatically during login).

Code:
settz() {
  printf "Enter timezone (Asia, or GMT) [GMT]: "
  read Time
  unset TZ
  case "$Time" in
    Asia)
      export TZ="Asia/Kolkata"
      ;;
    ?*)
      echo "Unknown Time Zone"
      ;;
  esac
}

Code:
$ settz
Enter timezone (Asia, or GMT) [GMT]: 
$
$ echo $TZ
$
$
$ settz
Enter timezone (Asia, or GMT) [GMT]: Asia
$
$ echo $TZ
Asia/Kolkata
$
