Goats, goats and goats
Sometime early last week, the Nilgiri tahr that we were hoping to film came down from the highlands. However the next day, a pack of wild dogs came and attacked the herd and all of them ran back up the hills. We were on our way when this happened, so when this happened, we just drove back to Bangalore.

They have come down again it seems and mostly this will be our last chance to film them. Sandesh and Mandanna are already there and I'm leaving tomorrow morning to join them. I would have never guessed, goats would rule my life so much and I just realised that my star sign is Capricorn.

With tomorrows trip, my scorpio would have done close to 3000 KM in the last 10 days.

Your star sign may be Capricorn and you may have a lot to do with Aries...but don't forget, you also deal a lot (as you say) with Scorpio!

all the best with the filming...I don't know when you will see this.

Dont remind me of those goats up there. I had been there just a month before you went there last august/september during the kurinji bloom. We spent about 2-3 hours up there the the fog and rain and didnt even get to hear a goat let alone see it. The only goat that we saw then was the one painted on the bus. :P

and yeah... I'm capri too. betrayed by my own brotherhood of the nilgiri variety. cha....

Capricorns and Scorpios are a scary combination. Stick with Saggitarians.

Looking back through your journal...awesome photos!
And how freaking lucky are you to work as a wildlife filmman?

Get those goats.
