How to kayak

Kayak is mostly use for a fishing and the hunting. Kayak is made out of plastic and wood material. To me a kayak is like a small boat. For kayaking at least one to three paddlers can ride a kayak and one paddle for each paddler. Also paddle comes in two different sizes. while you ridding a kayak you'll need to follow the following rules.

Rule number 1, when you ride a kayak always use safety instruction. for example life jacket because not every person knows swimming so make sure to wear a life jacket. Second no regular shoes is allowed because its get wet. Only swimming shoe's allowed and the last how to sit in the kayak. If you alone then you sit in the middle but if two or three people sitting in one kayak you need to follow some easy instruction.

First of all, when three people ride a kayak the two heaviest by weight sir in front and back and light weight can sit in the middle. First the bask side person seat in the kayak by using two hands the the front person and last the middle one. They are two different ways to use paddle.

Paddle comes in two size: small and large, the size don't really matter. Paddles have the front and the back shape like curve, reason is the paddlers can easily move front and backward. Paddlers can hold paddle from the middle and start moving paddle from and sides, but in forward  motion like you doing with bicycle. Second if the paddlers start moving in reverse motion the kayak moves backward. For using turns, right way paddling turns left and the left way paddling it turns right. Finally to make sure three paddlers have unity while paddling.

By the time you learn all the rules, instruction and control on paddle you will be professional. Be confidence
on yourself then you will have more fun and the enjoyment while kayaking

My experience during the Discovery Green excursion

Wednesday I was so excited to going for kayaking at the discovery green. First I came to school around
10:30 and our class and teacher talked about kayaking and also we had a discussion about how we get to our destination. We were following our teacher because mostly student don't know the address to get at metro rail.

Finally we arrived at rail metro station at fannin st. We park our cars and purchased a parking ticket for $3.00 and rail ticket for $1.25. I was so exhausted, we are still waiting for few more student to come at that rail metro. 30 minutes of waiting we left from there. What an experience! metro rail stop about 12 station  and every time I notice something unusual. Our final destination is in main street.

 We start walking from the main street to the discovery green. On the way we went inside the meat market and purchase a lunch, that market was really so big and had different traditional food. We arrive at discovery green place I ate my food then we going to try kayaking.

 I was socked by looking young kids riding a kayak so well. I was excited to try too, me and my two others  classmate we went to try kayaking. The person who works there giving us some instruction first take the shoes off, wear a life jacket, how to balance kayak, how to using a paddles.After listening all the instruction finally we are on board. First 5 minutes learning how to using kayak we are calling us expert. We had a lot of  fun by throwing the water on others, and the most we had a racing with others student we have such a good experience.

After all this fun we left from discovery green to catch up rail. We walked again to the rail station, we ride on rail. By the time I was so tired and sleepy, we had 2 more stop to go but suddenly it's start raining. the rain was very hard and doesn't look like to stop. When our rail arrived to fannin st, we start running to the parking area where we parked, by the time we reach to our car we all get wet, and we had a very good rain shower

Rail Poem

Walking on the streets
On the phone
Listening music
Tree wearing net
Food smells good
Holding monkey bag
Quite outside
Starts raining
Flower by the road
Dream car
Watching crow
Too much trash

Mostly people like to eat chicken. It is the most common type of poultry eaten in the world. Today chicken is used in almost every restaurant for example in China, people eat Kung Pao, butter chicken in India and Pakistan and in United States we like to eat the fried, baked, and grilled. Baked and grilled not tasty and juicy than fried chicken. There are many different recipes to cook a Fried Chicken.  

 Today I will Show you one of my recipe for fried chicken and how easy it is. You will see the difference when you cook your fried chicken and the one you eat at the restaurant, and most important you will save a lot of money. The only major thing you need is chicken legs and thigh, other ingredients you will find in your kitchen.This recipe is unique whether you want to fry it or bake it.For the fried chicken recipe you just have to follow the basic step. 

   For this chicken recipe you will need at least 5 legs and 5 thigh, 1 whole lemon, 2 table spoon cayenne pepper, 1 spoon garlic and ginger paste, salt and pepper to taste, 2 cup of oil for frying two cup of all purpose flour and 2 large eggs beaten. Now start marinating chicken for at least 12 hours before you serve. First you need to wash the chicken but do not try to pull skin off. Then in a large bowl mix garlic and ginger paste. Then squeeze lemon juice and pinch of salt. Finally apply the mixture on the chicken and refrigerator for 12 hours.

 The next morning, take the marinating chicken out the refrigerator and set chicken for room temperature. Meanwhile prepare the flour. In the flour put 2 table spoon cayenne pepper salt and pepper to taste.Mix it well and set a side. Now turn the stove on high heat, put the fry pan and pour oil in the pan. Now wait until is hot. After turning heat medium temperature,dip each piece of chicken in to the beaten egg, then mix in the flour with spices. Finally, the remaining chicken fry using the same method . After fry the chicken to set on few pieces of the paper towel to drain the oil out. After you fried all the chicken pieces to make sure to turn the stove off.

If you need to make more than that, just double the recipe and follow the same instructions. I hope that this fried chicken as quick, easy and delicious for you as it was for me. Always remember that hot oil can cause some serious burn injuries, so keeping the extinguish, nearby is very smart thing to do while cooking.

My First Day of class

College can seen like a never ending stream of new experience, new class, new friends. Especially, if your going back to college after 14 years. I was both scared and excited at the same time.
Finding the right room on my first day seemed like a navigating amaze. First I was an hour late of my class and second by the time i got to the second session the had already started and the teacher gave me an activity to be presented in 15 min. The activity was to pick only one question out of the four and introduce myself and I have to present this in front of the whole class. I felt so uncomfortable and shy. but I somehow did it and I was not as bad as I though it would be. It was definitely a different and awesome experience.
In the last hour the teacher explained to us the importance of essay writing. The teacher also gave us an assignment which was to write one paragraph about our general attitude toward writing. I really liked my first day in class.

Shiva Nataraja the Lord of the dancing

When I first enter at the museum I saw the big bronze figure of the Hindu God Shiva. Shiva Nataraja from 13th century. At this point just imagine this majestic sculpture rich with color, history and detail. Second in this sculpture its showing us Shiva's  two eye that represent the sun and the moon.The third eye represents wisdom. His upper right hand holding a drum that called damaru. The other upper left hand is holding a flame.His second lower right hand the is giving a blessing. His lower left hand points to his left foot and the last his right foot is stepping on a demon. Every action tells us a cultrual art and meaning. For example flame represents distruction. Drum means a first sound of creation. Stepping on a demon means no fear. But again ever scholar has their own meaning.
