Welcome to Sharon’s Read and Reflect — a cozy corner for curious minds and wandering thoughts! ✨ I’m Sharon Clara Fernandes, someone who believes reading adds wings to the mind and writing gives it a voice. 📚 Here, I pour my thoughts, a dash of humor, and a sprinkle of reflection into every piece I write.

What does your ideal home look like? When I imagine my ideal home, I don’t see marble floors or golden chandeliers. I see sunlight sneaking through a big window, making itself comfortable without asking permission. That’s the kind of place I want—where light, laughter, and love walk in freely.The living room? Oh, it must come... Continue Reading →
What brings a tear of joy to your eye? It isn’t diamonds, glitter, or gold,Not trophies polished, nor titles bold.It’s smaller things, almost absurd,That crack my heart wide with a single word.Like my child saying, “Look, I did it alone!”Or hearing a laugh that sounds like home.When chaos pauses, just for a while,And silence wears...

Why do you blog? When I first saw the question, “Why do you blog every single day?” I couldn’t help but smile. My honest answer? Because my brain refuses to stay quiet. Blogging, for me, isn’t just about filling a page with words—it’s about emptying my heart onto paper (or screen) and feeling a little... Continue Reading →
Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses. They say, “Never work with children or animals.” I disagree—interviewing my 6-year-old son turned out to be the most entertaining, thought-provoking, and laughter-filled conversation I’ve had in years. Somewhere between his love for ice cream... Continue Reading →
How are you feeling right now? If you ask me how I’m feeling right now, I’d say it’s like asking the sky what weather it prefers—sunshine, rain, or thunder. Truth is, all three might show up before lunch. One moment, I’m thrilled because the kids are laughing; the next, I’m worried about tomorrow’s deadlines. Life... Continue Reading →
What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life? If life is a dish, then habits are the secret spices that make it flavorful. Some people look for big achievements to feel happy, but I’ve realized it’s the little things I repeat daily that quietly shape the quality of my life.First comes... Continue Reading →
What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it? A little while ago, I found myself on a mission that was both serious and silly: searching online for a Barbie doll toothbrush for my little one. At first glance, it might seem like an ordinary task, but when you’re... Continue Reading →
What TV shows did you watch as a kid? When I think of my childhood, the memories aren’t of TV shows at first, because—till grade 5—we didn’t even have a television at home. But once the big box arrived, it was as if another world opened. DD9 was my window to entertainment, and I remember... Continue Reading →
What's your favorite time of day? If someone asks me about my favorite time of day, I could pretend to be poetic and say sunrise, or intellectual and say tea-time, but let’s be honest—my real answer is when I am with my kids and when I finally get to sleep.“Kids turn ordinary minutes into extraordinary...

What's your favorite recipe? Cooking and I have always had a complicated relationship. If kitchens could talk, mine would probably sigh every time I walked in. My knives tremble, the onions giggle, and the stove raises its eyebrows as if to say, “Oh no, not again!” Truth be told, recipes are like foreign languages to... Continue Reading →
Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. Excitement doesn’t always need fireworks, grand parties, or lottery wins. Sometimes, it hides in the smallest corners of life—like a peaceful Friday, when the kids finish their periodic assessment and I can finally sip my tea without mentally solving math problems along with them.“Ohhh, I...

How would you design the city of the future? The city of the future won’t just rise, it will breathe.Skyscrapers may scrape the sky, but their walls will wear gardens like crowns. Streets will hum with solar-powered light, every footprint sparking a glow—proof that even steps can leave behind sunshine.Greenery will no longer be a... Continue Reading →
Where did your name come from? “Sharon—not just a name,but a garden of stories,where roots meet meaning,and laughter grows with grace.” “Where did your name come from?” A simple question, yet it always carries a universe of meaning. My name, Sharon, isn’t just a collection of letters—it’s a garden in itself. In Hebrew, Sharon means... Continue Reading →

What are your top ten favorite movies? They say, “Life is like a movie, and we are all actors.” Well, if that’s true, then my life’s background score would be a playlist of rom-coms, sprinkled with family drama, and topped with feel-good endings. I am not a fan of thrillers or horror (why would I... Continue Reading →
