Rahman joins the list of Grammy winners from India
Mumbai: Music Composer AR Rahman is not the first Indian to win a Grammy Award.
In the 51-year history of the Grammy Awards, only three Indians have had the honour of being Grammy Award winners and that too only when they collaborated with other western musicians.
Sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar was the first Indian musician to bag a Grammy way back in 1967 for his performance West Meets East with violinist Yehudi Menuhin in the Best Chamber Music Performance category.
He followed it up with a second trophy in 1972 when The Concert For Bangladesh featuring him, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Leon Russell, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Eric Clapton and Klaus Voormann was named Album Of The Year.

Avoid the Top 10 Interview Mistakes
The best way to avoid the most common and dangerous interview mistakes is to think ahead and decide not to make them... Read on for a whistle-stop tour of the top ten interview clangers!
1. Lying
Although it's tempting, it doesn't work. By all means gloss over the unflattering things. But out-right fibbing NEVER pays.
Mark Twain said: "If you tell the truth, you never have to remember anything." Think about it. They will catch you out later.
2. Slating your current company or boss
Fed up with your current job and would give anything to leave because they've treated you badly? Your job interview is NOT the time to seek revenge. Bear in mind that the interviewer will be listening to your answers and thinking about what it would be like to work with you. Ask yourself: do you like working with people who constantly criticise others? Isn't it a bit wearing? The trouble is that the interviewer draws massive conclusions from your answers. So your throwaway comment about your boss or employer may be interpreted to be your "standard" way of thinking. It makes you look bad, not your employer.
