Indian-classical composer, Anoushka Shankar, whose latest collaborative fusion album, 'Breathing under water' with Karsh Kale released recently says she doesn't compose music for awards.

"I don't expect anything. I am a musician and just want to keep on composing music for the sheer love of it. So, I have no expectation of Grammy for my album," says Anoushka, whose last album, 'Rise' was nominated for the Grammy last year.

Anoushka, who has lended her support for a number of social issues like animals rights and PETA, will be performing live in the capital this Wednesday as a part of the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) and is upbeat about it.

"It is an honour to be associated with WFP and I hope to carry on this association as long as possible and reach out to the people through my music," says Anoushka, who will be performing Indian classical including the Karnatic classical music in the concert.

At an age of 26, Anoushka already has five albums to her name and now she is in now hurry to rush to the sixth.

"I am not planning any album for the moment as I have just released my album about four weeks ago. I will be doing a lot of concerts in the coming days, about 80 of them in India and worldwide," she says.
