Night Time Around KM Music Conservatory

I - A Cold Limca Bottle

This clip talks about how the heat of the summers in Chennai even seeps into the freezer of a small shop selling groceries outside KM Music Conservatory. Hence when one asks for a Cold bottle of Limca, an aerated beverage, the “Cooling” - as the shopkeeper refers to it, is seemingly not enough. The tail end of the clip speaks to some of the students of the conservatoire regarding the recording device used to capture this clip.

II - KM Guard After Hours

Owing to the oddly scheduled early closing hours of the conservatory, students often walk into the campus to find a sleeping guard blocking their path asking them to come back the next morning when the school reopens at 830am the next morning. This is a conversation this guard in Tamil regarding this, combined with his underlying irritation at being woken up.

III - KM Student Blabbers

While the hustle and bustle of student movement near the Chai shop outside KM Music Conservatory is a common sight to behold; at night time, this area isn’t nearly as populated. The sparse group of students commonly hanging out in the area indulge in friendly banter, with promise of artistic collaborations or new compositions or musical ideas that they are working on. Such conversations mostly end up without consequence as can be seen from the tone of this short excerpt.
