In partnership with the Kolkata Centre for Creativity, Starmark hosted the launch of The Commonsense Diet, the newest book by bestselling author, nutritionist, and fitness expert Ms. Rujuta Diwekar.

Ms. Chiki Sarkar, co-founder of Juggernaut Books, moderated the event and led a stimulating conversation with the author. Together, they discussed the book’s main points, which included the value of traditional Indian eating customs, dispelling myths about diets, and the significance of culture, community, and seasonal eating for long-term health and well-being.

“The Commonsense Diet” stresses a return to the fundamentals of nutrition and exhorts readers to believe in traditional food knowledge handed down through the ages. Rujuta breaks down health through useful guidance that cuts through the clutter of fad diets and food trends with her trademark clarity and wit.

A sizable and fervent audience of readers, fitness enthusiasts, and fans of Rujuta’s work attended the event; many of them had their copies signed by the author and spoke with her at the meet-and-greet that followed.

Author Ms. Rujuta Diwekar’s book The Commonsense Diet, which was published by Juggernaut Publications, is currently available for INR 299 at Starmark bookshops and online.
