Indian music maestro AR Rahman, who won two awards at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards ceremony here, says he never dreamt of winning

"Insane, eh? I never even dreamt about winning all these awards," Rahman posted on his Twitter page after receiving the award.

He was honoured for his compositions in Danny Boyle's fairytale drama "Slumdog Millionaire". He won for the best compilation soundtrack for a motion picture and the best motion picture song for "Jai ho", which he shares with lyricist Gulzar and Tanvi Shah.

The composition in the film has won Rahman the most prestigious international awards including two Oscars, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), Critics Choice Award and the Golden Globe.

The composer is often called the Mozart of Madras, the city where he works.

"This is insane, god is great again," Rahman said as he accepted as he accepted his award.

Rahman beat such rivals as Quentin Tarantino for "Inglourious Basterds" and rock star Bruce Springsteen in the soundtrack and best song categories respectively.

Last month, Rahman was shortlisted for an Oscar nomination for his Tamil song NaNa from the Hollywood film, "Couples Retreat".

The song is vying with 62 others for the nominations.

The 44-year-old composer is a musician with a staggering range — from raga to reggae to hip hop to Indian folk to jungle rhythms to western classical.

Seventeen years after he began writing music and songs for films, the jingle maker- turned-musician finally got recognition as India’s first truly global film music composer with his score for Danny Boyle's sleeper hit "Slumdog Millionaire".

Sitar maestro Ravi Shankar, guitarist Vishwa Mohan Bhatt and tabla player Zakir Hussain are the other Indian musicians who have won Grammy Awards.
