I was planning to check out Google Maps for India.. since I did not remember the exact url for India Map.. i search it in google.. and to my surprise every page in the result had this line under the link “This site may harm your computer.”

And then I clicked on the link (http://www.google.co.in/interstitial?url=http://maps.google.co.in/) and got this page.. i don’t have words to describe this :))

guess some one or some thing got screwed badly at gogole .. Hope they find and fix this soon. Users may ignore this and continue for now..

Update: Looks like there are others also who have seen this happen .. reports are coming from all over the net..

Update: the bug is now fixed as per Google.. here is the official entry on their blog http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/this-site-may-harm-your-computer-on.html

Kambala or Kambla is a famous rural sport, prominent in districts of Udupi and Mangalore in the state of Karnataka in India. Kambala is also known to be held in few northern parts of Kerala like Kasargod.  Kambala is a traditional buffalo race in muddy waters, held from December till March on weekends (sat/sun) every year.

Kambala is a race between pairs of bullocks, which are rode by a human. The bullocks are tied together with a wooden shaft over their neck. These bullocks are typically dedicated bullocks of the family for the Kambala and are pride of the family.

Hello all, after more than 5 years, I have decided to close down my DDost.com web site. This has been a difficult decision after all the work I have done, but it is necessary. My friends and I started this site when we were in college and we have put in a lot of hard work. But due to my other commitment and work engagements, I have not been able to give it any time it deserves.

Thanks to all my visitors and thanks for all the supportive e-mail over the years.

The email service will be available for some more time (its recommended that all users move your self to other email system soon like mail.google.com) and can be accessed using the following url: mail.ddost.com OR http://digitaldost.mail.everyone.net
