Kilter Meetup this Friday
At this Friday’s open house, chef and author Radha Thomas will talk about her journey with the Cauliflower Diet. Radha has authored the book: “The Cauliflower Diet” where she not only shares recipes for the South Indian palate, but also talks about how her family and household have fully taken to the Cauliflower Diet.
If you intend to start with a low carb diet, come over to the open house this Friday and hear Radha explain how you can substitute rice and deep-fried globules of yummy vegetable bondas minus excess carbs and calories with cauliflower.

Rootconf is a place for you if:

- You make decisions for your company’s infrastructure on which monitoring tools to use, how much capacity to plan for your use case, and how to roll our microservices.
- You are working through the intricacies of monitoring and want to know how others are solving this problem.
Rootconf has this, and much, much more to offer this year. Save the date: 11–12 May, 2017.

We lead fairly stressful lives. This is particularly so for those of us who work with our heads down on maintaining infrastructure, resolving periodic crisis that hit our systems.
HasGeek has launched Kilter for each one of us in the developer community to take a step back, and think about health, nutrition and fitness today!
