The document discusses the science behind various cooking techniques and ingredients through photographs in the book Modernist Cuisine. It uses microscopy to show structures like potato starch granules and vitamin C crystals. Photos of cutaway appliances reveal steam condensation slows vegetable cooking more than boiling. It also captures fast phenomena like Leidenfrost droplets with high-speed video and novel dishes made possible by modern ingredients and tools.
The Ajanta Caves in India contain 32 grottos carved into volcanic basalt hills over thousands of years using only chisels and hammers. The craftsmen meticulously carved columns and rooms inside the rock, decorating walls and ceilings with colorful paintings and plaster applications. Many of the paintings are over 1500 years old, showing perspective, depth and realism - techniques developed by the unknown artists 10 centuries before the European Renaissance. The caves range from the 2nd century BC, with some acting as monasteries containing small rooms and beds cut from rock where monks would live and rest. Others are chaityas or temples similar to Christian cathedrals, with vaulted ceilings and decorated pillars.
The document discusses a research project conducted by Maruti Suzuki India Limited to understand customer perceptions of features in the A2 car segment. 250 customers participated in interviews where they provided feedback on attractive and must-have features, and their perceived pricing of different features. The research found that customers see most features as must-haves if included in the car price, but perceive lower value for some features if priced individually. It is recommended that Maruti bundle more features and increase awareness of benefits to improve perceived value.
