I remember watching RHCP perform this song at the Grammy’s two years back and being awestruck! These guys really know how to entertain. This is a real groovy, fun song. Hope you all enjoy it!

Humor in Politics
Filed under Uncategorized
As you all know, theres been a lot of back n forth by both the Republicans and the Democrats lately. Youtube is filled with supporters posting all kinds of stuff. I saw this video and Sunday and without doubt this is the funniest video I’ve seen. So thought I’d share it with you all. In order to truly appreciate it, you need to first watch the original video and then the spoof.
Heres the original:
And heres the spoof:
A SPECIAL THANKS TO MY WIFE FOR INTRODUCING ME TO EVERYTHING THATS ABSURD!!!
Aadat (Jal Cover)
I really liked Jal and its sad that they had to split (like most pakistani groups). Aadat and Woh Lamhay are probably the two most recognized tracks. I particularly like Aadat for the fusion aspect and also love the way the vocalist portrays emotions. Here is my attempt at covering this song.
Fall '08 – Trip to Morton Arboretum
Fall is probably the season me and my wife enjoy the most. Our favorite spot to visit is Morton Arboretum. We visited the Arboretum yesterday to enjoy the fall colors. You can find some of the pics we took here.
Mudhal Mazhai – Tamil Song from the movie Bheema
I’ve been trying to do a tamil song for a while but somehow nothing worked out. Sriram recently covered this song and was kind enough to share the k track with me. Thanks Sriram for that! I like most of Harris Jayaraj’s work and this is my fav song from the movie Bheema. My first tamil cover on Muziboo 
This k track already had the female vocals.

All you tamil folks out here, my apologies well in advance for murdering your language.
My Home Network
As promised, here is a brief description of my home network. My entire infrastructure is based on VMware ESX server.
For those of you who are not familiar with VMware, they are the leaders when it comes to server virtualization solutions. Server virtualization in a nutshell is the concept of hardware abstraction whereby you can place multiple workloads on a single physical server thereby leading to much more efficient usage of hardware resources. In the past, most corporate networks had a one to one mapping between applications and servers. Now with server virtualization, you can place multiple application workloads on a single physical server. This also leads to reduced cost in cooling, reduced data center space requirements, reduced power consumption, reduced hardware costs, less administrative overhead.
I currently have one physical server, an HP DL380 G3 with two Xeon 3.06Ghz processors, 6 GB RAM and 3 72 GB SCSI HDDs in RAID 5 configuration thus giving me a net storage capacity of about 140 GB. As of today, I have the following virtual machines running on this physical server:
- Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller for the internal domain – GKLAB.org
- Windows Server 2003 running Microsoft Exchange 2003 – Accepts mail for georgeandroshan.org, gksden.org, randg.org
- Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 hosting applications such as Microsoft Office, Various administration applications etc.
- Citrix Secure Gateway 3.1 for remote access into the Citrix farm.
- Windows Server 2003 template for additional servers if required.
- Windows Server 2008 template.
So in short, I have 6 virtual servers/workloads running on 1 physical server sharing the available resources.
In addition to this, I have another workstation that is used to host my website, photo gallery and my wordpress based blog.It is Windows XP machine running Apache, MySQL and PHP. This is a low end PC that I bought a long time back with just 512 megs of RAM, but it works like a charm.
I have only one public IP and since I have multiple resources to publish externally, I take advantage of virtual host headers in apache which allows you to distinguish resources based on the incoming host header request. The various resources published via Apache are:
- http://www.georgeandroshan.org
- http://remote.gksden.org
- http://pics.gksden.org
- http://blog.gksden.org
Currently, I have a flat network and dont do any fancy routing with multiple VLANs etc, but in the coming months, I plan to segment my network based on functional role.
That is my network in a nutshell. Feel free to email me should you have any questions. I am planning to post a few pics soon.
Best,
George

I recently updated my lab at home and decided to move my blog from Blogger to WordPress. I will post details of my setup later, but for the time being, here is the latest cover I have worked on. An old favorite of mine and a song that most of you should be familiar with. Michael Jackson is truly one of a kind. There will never be another MJ. I sang this back when I was in 8th grade and decided to do it again for old times sake. Enjoy (or atleast try to )
