I chased skunks in Nilgiris and forgot how to be a tourist

@Topiclo Admin5/16/2026blog

skunky farts woke me at 4am. my roommate said it was just the monsoon. but no. the cellar air tasted like wet socks and something metallic. i’m in coonoor, Tamil Nadu, where clouds hang low enough to bite. the weather app said 36.95°C but feels like 34.17. probably because the humidity’s 11% and the gecko on my windowsill isn’t sweating. i’ve never seen a sheet of paper catch fire in the sun. tried it here. didn’t.
