We are Cheetukali ചീട്ടുകളി
What started as high-stakes late-night card games in dust-filled dorm rooms evolved into a lifelong group chat. This site is our scrapbook — photos, weddings, trips, and whatever we plan next.
Malayalam for "The Act of Playing Cards."
In Kerala, Cheetukali is more than a game — it's a social ritual. It's the sound of paper snapping against wood, the smell of strong tea, and the boisterous arguments that follow a misplayed hand.
Our collective adopted this name because our foundation is built on those same mechanics: risk, strategy, and an unwavering commitment to the table. We don't just play; we document the journey.
