Is it the right time to invest in Nippon India Small Cap Fund?

Is it the correct time to invest in Nippon India Small Cap Fund? Its past track record is good but current NAV is around Rs 112/unit. I am an aggressive investor and can take risks. Wanted to invest Rs 2,000-5,000 per month for 7-10 years. Please tell me whether I can invest now or wait for the NAV to come down?
