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. The more we read, the more we grow — and I’m learning right along with you! So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and let’s journey through words together. ☕💭
What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? There it sits—worn at the edges, the cover faded like an old photograph, pages wrinkled with wisdom and watermarks from tears (and spilled coffee). No leather-bound luxury, no gold-embossed modern upgrade—just my humble Bible, the oldest thing I own and the most used object... Continue Reading →
Describe one of your favorite moments. Some moments are like bubble wraps—pop one, and a hundred memories spill out.It’s almost unfair to ask for a “favourite moment” when life serves an entire buffet. There are mornings that smell like hope, afternoons that taste like chaos, and evenings that feel like a lullaby. But then, some... Continue Reading →
What notable things happened today? Today, the skies wept like a Bollywood heroine in the climax scene, and as the rain poured, so did the chaos inside my home.School declared a holiday — not for any festive reason, but because the roads outside looked like reluctant rivers forming without Google Maps’ permission. And just like... Continue Reading →
What are you passionate about? They say passion is fire. But mine? Mine is more like a warm, bubbling pot of stew—comforting, messy, sometimes spicy, but always filling.I’m passionate about many things. In fact, I might just be an emotional multipurpose tool—like a Swiss Army knife but with more glitter and less blade.🖋️ Writing is... Continue Reading →
What is your favorite season of year? Why? If you ever asked me to choose a favorite season, I’d probably stand there like a confused ice cream flavor at a five-star buffet—do I pick the comfort of vanilla (winter), the sparkle of mango (summer), the nostalgia of caramel swirl (monsoon), or the mystery of pistachio...

What’s the one luxury you can’t live without? "Luxury is not always a thing; sometimes it's a pause." When someone says “luxury,” most people think of a Louis Vuitton bag, a penthouse suite with a view of the Eiffel Tower, a personal butler named Charles who brings them morning tea and existential advice.But if you...

If humans had taglines, what would yours be? Imagine walking into a room and people don’t just see your face—they see your tagline glowing above your head like a neon halo. What would yours say? “Work hard, nap harder”? “Caution: May start deep conversations at random”? “Brains, biceps, and biryani”? Well, mine would read:“Powered by... Continue Reading →
What are the most important things needed to live a good life? They say a good life needs a house, car, wealth, and food so fancy it comes with a garnish you can’t pronounce. But let me tell you a secret whispered by a monk, mumbled by a mom, and silently agreed upon by your... Continue Reading →
Who do you spend the most time with? I spend most of my time juggling two chaotic, lovable worlds—my kids and my work. One is full of deadlines, targets, and coffee; the other is bursting with crayons, giggles, and suspiciously sticky fingers. Together, they make my life look like a sitcom written by a very... Continue Reading →
If you had to change your name, what would your new name be? I love my name. It’s not just a label—it’s a song, a story, a signature of my soul. Changing it? That feels like replacing the sun with a disco ball. Sure, it might shine, but will it feel like home?Names, you see,... Continue Reading →
Describe your dream chocolate bar. My dream chocolate bar? Honestly, I don’t have one. Because choosing a favorite chocolate feels like betraying the rest of the sweet gang. I’m not biased. (Okay, maybe slightly biased when Ferrero Rocher winks at me.) From Alpenliebe's buttery hug to Dairy Milk’s creamy whisper, from KitKat’s crunchy gossip to... Continue Reading →
Do you remember your favorite book from childhood? Ask me about treasure, and I won’t point to gold. I’ll point to a dog-eared stack of Balamangala and Champaka — two Kannada comic books that were my childhood's loyal companions. They didn’t just come with stories; they came with magic. While other kids played cricket, I... Continue Reading →
List three books that have had an impact on you. Why? There are books you read, and there are books that read you. Some pages don’t just flip; they flip you. If I had to line up the literary giants that left footprints on my heart, my top three would be: The Bible, The Monk... Continue Reading →
What fears have you overcome and how? I once thought fear wore a vampire cloak—dark, dramatic, blood-curdling. Turns out, fear sometimes wears eight legs and hides in a slipper.Yes, it began with a spider in my Bata slipper. Not a metaphorical one. A real, hairy-legged, eight-eyed creeper that had clearly mistaken my footwear for an... Continue Reading →
Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life. In the grand theatre of life, where chaos plays the lead and to-do lists demand encores, I have discovered a blissful escape—the humble nap. Not the accidental snooze on the couch with drool as a souvenir, but the intentional, dignified, I-set-an-alarm nap.It’s the... Continue Reading →
