We are Cheetukali ചീട്ടുകളി

Cheetukali crew

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.

The Etymology

Malayalam for "The Act of Playing Cards."

The crew, 2019

ചീട്ട് (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.
