About Me

Hello and welcome to myinnershakti!

My name is Parita, and I’m so glad you decided to click over (either on purpose or accidentally) to my little corner of the internet!  My goal with this blog is to share myinnershakti with you and hopefully inspire you to find yours.  Shakti, by the way, is the Sanskrit word for strength.  So essentially, I am sharing the little everyday things that give me my inner strength with the hope that they help you find yours!

I am known for being a passionate individual.  My interests range from health and fitness to cooking to reading to just living life and having fun.  So, while I do think of myinnershakti as a healthy living blog, please consider yourself warned that it does not fit the traditional mold.

What to expect:  Posts about my husband, my family, my friends, books I’m reading, movies I’ve seen, recipes I’ve tried out/want to try out, articles I’ve read, workouts I’m loving/hating, the Indian culture, etc.

What not to expect:  Posts that are negative in nature, diet advice (fyi…i hate the word diet), hardcore workouts (I’m not a certified anything), and the illusion that my life is perfect because I hate to break it to you…life ain’t perfect!

How myinnershakti is not a typical healthy living blog:  I started this blog as a way to share my thoughts on healthy living (which at the time were limited to fitness and nutrition), but boy has that changed!   I quickly came to realize that my definition of healthy living is so much more than the time you put in at the gym and the food you eat.  It’s about finding your own personal balance, taking care of yourself, and living life one day at a time.  Healthy living is about connecting the mind, body, and soul.

So, whether you decide to read regularly or not, I hope that you walk away from this blog with a smile on your face.  Thank you so much for stopping by!

Please note that I am not a health care professional.  Everything I blog about is based on my personal accounts and experiences.  Please consult your doctor if you are going to make major changes to your diet, exercise regimen, and lifestyle.

Enjoy!!!

    • Hi Ellie! Thanks for visiting my blog! My favorite Indian food…that’s hard! It’s probably anything my mom makes, but if I can’t eat something of hers it’s probably paneer makhani (tomato based cream sauce with Indian cheese). If you haven’t tried it yet, you must!!! Thanks!

  17. Hi Parita,
    Just wanted to thank you for the awesome brownies you contributed as part of Chocolate-Covered Katie’s bake sale for Japan. They arrived Friday, were cracked open Friday evening and … all gone by Sunday am. Yup. It all happened so fast – first it was, “wow, what a huge box of brownies, in layers, oh boy – what’ll I do with it all?” and then it was … oh look, 2 wee pieces left all alone … Three other people did share, but it was mostly (gleefully) me!!! Great website and thanks again!

    • Hi there. To be completely honest, I stopped counting calories a couple of years ago. But if I had to guess, I probably range between 1700-1800 a day. My focus now is the quality of the calories vs. the quantity. Thanks!
