Goan to Antarctica.... Helga's blog is doing fine

Here's the blog of a Goan scientist currently in the icy-continent, and it's called 'Goan to Antarctica....'. Helga's latest posting is posted on Goanet as Who are you wearing?. And there's even this interesting comment-piece from VM de Malar titled Goan Dreams and Penguin Kisses. A quote:

She's a real-life hometown hero, a fiercely loyal daughter of Verna who studied entirely in Goan schools before heading off in pursuit of scientific excellence. Here, we're taking down the bright lights of IFFI and turning into the peak of high season. Meanwhile, Dr. Helga do Rosario Gomes is aboard an icebreaking ship near Antarctica, surrounded by giant ice floes and penguins, and the apparatus of a world-class scientific expedition.

And...

Anyway, some time in the coming weeks, a car will turn into the old Verna road and there will be an eager, perhaps slightly frozen-looking, face carefully checking the old neighborhood for changes. All that forbidding ice and those fickle penguins left far behind; Dr. Helga do Rosario Gomes will be home again. Till that happy moment, our thoughts and prayers go with her into that frozen frontier. We're rooting for you, Helga, stay warm.
