A comfortable three months. Patients turning up as usual. Monsoon cooled the country side, but the rains were minimal, our area rapidly going into the Deficient zone and soon large deficient - 39% to - 60%.
September saw welcome rains, about 15 cm in a matter of a week - cheers to all. Brought much needed relief.
However, the farmers have taken a hit. All the rain fed crops -Ragi, Groundnuts withered away due to the lack of rains. There was no flowering of the groundnuts. One odd brave plant pushed a flower out, only to be defeated by the lack of moisture. A real sad sight.
