Today morning, I was feeling pretty unwell, so I was not in a position to go to the jungle in the cold weather of the morning, but even the safari permits were not available, which was just as well, for had I had the permit, it’s likely that I would have pulled myself up and pushed myself to go look for some good pictures and footage. But since the permit was not available, there was nothing I could do but rest. So I did a bit of it and got up suitably late. After I got up, I reviewed the 70-200 mm lens on camera. 

In the evening, again, the story was the same and no permits were available under any quota because there is reportedly a good deal of VIP movement as well in Kanha these days. But it was good that I did not go on the evening safari. I edited today’s Vlog a little more relaxed and got a bit of rest. I do have a morning safari tomorrow though, so it’s good that I am feeling slightly better now. 

The network connectivity issues continue to be a problem, and today’s Vlog, for that reason, has been uploaded slightly late but it’s live now.
