Week 5: Senses

Hello friends,
   Welcome back to my blog!! This week I am going to share some facts about the sense-taste. This information is taken from the article How does our sense of taste work? 

Taste is linked to other sensations. It is not only the qualities of taste perceived by the tongue but also the smell, texture, and temperature of a meal that is important. We cannot enjoy a delicious meal if our nose clogged or can't smell properly! There are thought to be at least five basic qualities of taste. Many dishes are made up of a combination of different tastes. The basic tastes are sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and savory. Hot and spicy are often considered as taste, but they are not. However, it is caused by a pain signal sent by the nerves that transmit touch and temperature sensations. All taste can be perceived equally well everywhere on the tongue. The back of our tongue is very sensitive to bitter tastes. This is apparently to protect us so that we can spit out poisonous or spoiled foods or substances before they enter the throat and are swallowed. So taste is an important sense. If this sense is not functioning, we cannot enjoy our meals or get an interest to eat food. Because every food will feel like the same.

Week 4: My Life Story

Hello friends,
     This week I am going to share my life story and my development as a human being.
I was born on September 27, 2001, Thursday night in India. I am the third child of my parents. I was very chubby so people always pinched my cheeks. My sister and I are 9 years apart. So she was really a mother to me. I went to pre- k when I was 4 and my first grade when I was six. I attended a school near my home. I was very excited to go to school and had many friends. I studied pre-k to 8th grade in the same school with my best friends. I talked a lot. So everybody in my class was my friends.

After finishing 8th grade, my family moved to the United States. It was very hard for me to move to a new place. I cried a lot. I missed my friends and cousins. Then I became a part of the Dulles Vikings. I will graduate on May 23rd, 2019. Class of 2019!! Yeah!! I will attend Texas A&M for engineering and graduate in 2023. I will find a job with a good salary. Maybe I will plan to get married at the age of 27/28 with a god-fearing and a nice gentleman. Kids? Maybe 2 or 3. Hopefully, will retire at 65 and have a restful life afterward. Maybe I think I will live till 80-85? Who knows. This is what I think about my life.
