Rhythms inside and outside: The valet attendant who tunes parking cones to play his favourite beats

Watch: Meet Mohan Ramachandran, driver by day, musician at heart Fifty-six-year-old Mohan Ramachandran deftly takes over the steering of a deep blue Audi, swerving the vehicle before parking it neat into an available slot at The Music Academy. Mr. Ramachandran may not be schooled in thalams, nadais or layam but he loves music and doesn’t miss an opportunity to play. The musical talent of Mr. Ramachandran who works as a valet parking attendant came to the fore when musician Prince Rama Varma posted a video of him playing rhythms with the traffic safety cone on YouTube. When the music connoisseurs enjoy Thani Avarthanam inside the auditorium, Mr. Ramachandran and his friends have their own little lovely jamming sessions outside.
