September saw Durga Puja, Bengali Hindus' main festival. The Hindus among the Hrishipara Diarists enjoyed it as the chart shows. Income and health featured much less strongly than they usually do. See more at www.hrishiparadailydiaries.com/home/corona-virus

The Hrishipara Diarists found March much better than February. For one thing, Ramadan fell in that time, and several people were pleased to be able to fast properly. Income also improved. More at sites.google.com/site/hriship...

The Hrishipara Diarists were a bit gloomy this month. Health remains a problem, more so than income declines. See more at sites.google.com/site/hriship...

The Hrishipara Diarists have recovered, somewhat, from the Dengue outbreak reported last month, with a quarter of all Diarists reporting improving health. It was not a good month, though, for income. See more at sites.google.com/site/hriship... #financialinclusion #covid19 #poverty

The Hrishipara Diarists reported an unusually high incidence of illness - even of death among family members - in their latest 'month on month' survey. We are looking at whether this is a peculiar or a local or even national trend. See more at sites.google.com/site/hriship...
