Namaste! I’m Parul Malhotra — a Delhi girl, a blogger, a mom to a wonderfully opinionated 10-year-old daughter, and someone who genuinely believes life is too short to be anything but honest.
I’ve been married for over a decade now, and somewhere between being a wife, a mother, and a co-founder of a B2B supplies and manufacturing business, I’ve also managed to carve out this little corner of the internet that I call home. Indian values are in my blood. Religion, politics, and fake positivity — not so much.
How this all started
I didn’t plan to become a blogger. It happened during my postpartum phase, when I needed somewhere to put all the feelings I didn’t know what to do with. Writing became that place. What started as an outlet quietly turned into a calling.
Over the years, I became part of the Momspresso community — one of India’s largest platforms for women bloggers — where I wrote for brands like Dettol, Johnson & Johnson, and many more. More than 5 of my blogs crossed a million views. Those weren’t just numbers. They were proof that when a woman writes honestly about her life, other women listen.
Writing gave me a lens I didn’t have before. It made me a more aware mother, a more reflective woman, and honestly, a better human. This blog is the continuation of that journey.

3 Worlds juggled daily
What you’ll find here
The Trending Diary is for Indian moms navigating modern life — parenting, home, everyday choices — without the pressure of making it look perfect. You’ll find me talking about raising my daughter, decorating my home on a real budget, products I’ve actually used, and whatever else is taking up space in my head that week.
This space is a mirror. What you see here is a true reflection of who I am — not a curated highlight reel. If you’ve ever Googled something at midnight because your child said something unexpected, or bought a candle just to feel like you have your life together — you’re exactly who I’m writing for.
The two mantras I live by
“Just Let It Be”
Life is too short to carry negativity around. I’ve learnt — sometimes the hard way — to let go, move forward, and focus on what actually matters.
“Solve Today, Cry Tomorrow”
I was born with this one. My instinct is always to fix the situation first, feel the feelings later. It’s served me well more times than I can count.
A few more things about me
I’m a hardcore non-vegetarian (born that way, unapologetic about it). I’m easy-going until I’m not. I have strong opinions about earrings, lip shades, and how a well-arranged living room can change your entire mood. I run a business during the day, manage a home in the margins, and write whenever I can steal the time.
One more thing — this is a space built on honesty and respect. Hate comments and negativity have no room here. If something here isn’t for you, the internet is a big place. Go find what is. As Shakespeare almost said — the internet is your oyster.
