A lot of rodinhooders from other cities have been pinging me. And I’ve been pinging Alok :). We sincerely want to spend time with all of our rodinhooders across cities. But pls bear with us! We’re still figuring out the best way to hang out with you all, in person and remotely!

Press Pause.

Catch up on life and the stuff you love, apart from your work.

Chill out.

Ditch your emails for a day or two.

Live more.
