We are Cheetukali ചീട്ടുകളി
What started as late-night card games in dusty dorm rooms became the kind of friendship that outlasts everything. This is our scrapbook, and the best pages are still ahead.
Malayalam for "The Act of Playing Cards."
ചീട്ടു (cheetu) — card. കളി (kali) — game, play.
In Kerala, Cheetukali is just a card game. For us, it was an excuse to stay in the same room. That excuse turned into late nights, chayakkada sessions, and ten years of showing up for each other. A bunch of misfits, each doing their own thing, somehow still in the same group chat. And the game is just getting bigger.
