Rujuta Diwekar asserted that home-cooked meals promote health and community ties

Starmark, the leading bookstore chain, in collaboration with Kolkata Centre for Creativity, hosted the launch of ‘The Commonsense Diet’, the latest book by celebrated nutritionist, fitness expert and bestselling author, Ms Rujuta Diwekar.
The event featured an engaging discussion moderated by Ms Chiki Sarkar, Co-Founder, Juggernaut Books, who led a thought-provoking conversation with the author. Together, they explored key themes of the book – the importance of traditional Indian food habits, debunking popular diet myths and the critical role of culture, community and seasonal eating in sustainable health and wellness.
“It was an absolute pleasure to host Rujuta Diwekar and launch a book that resonates so deeply with the idea of balance and rooted living. At Starmark, we are always looking to create spaces that encourage knowledge, dialogue, and personal growth and this event was a perfect reflection of that vision”, said Mr Gautam Jatia, CEO, Starmark.
‘The Commonsense Diet’ emphasizes a back-to-basics approach to nutrition, urging readers to trust age-old food wisdom passed down through generations. With her signature wit and clarity, Rujuta simplifies health through practical advice that cuts through the noise of fad diets and food trends.
The event drew a large and enthusiastic crowd of readers, fitness enthusiasts, and admirers of Rujuta’s work, many of whom got their copies signed by the author and interacted with her during the post-event meet-and-greet.
‘The Commonsense Diet’ by author, Ms Rujuta Diwekar is now available at Starmark bookstores and online platforms for INR 299, published by Juggernaut Publications
