It's Pongal season in Chennai and the city is reaping a rich harvest of home grown champions. Just recently, Vishwanathan Anand got a rousing reception at the airport after winning the World Chess Championship. Now, it's the turn of A R Rahman.

Traditional drum beats welcomed India's music maestro, when he returned home after winning the Golden Globe for the Best Original Score for Slumdog Millionaire.

As he walked out of the airport, fans and the media had to jostle with each other for a glimpse of India's new hero and his award.

The musician gave all the credit to his entire team. "Nothing can be achieved without a team and this is to show my gratitude to all the people, who have been working so hard to take my vision further and also to the budding musicians and composers to reassure them that nothing is impossible," he said.

The unassuming person that he is, Rahman says he isn't viewing the Golden Globe as a prelude to the Oscar. But his students seem confident that their guru will win that too.
