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 book could you read over and over again? Some people say your bookshelf is a mirror—it reflects not your face, but your soul. If that’s true, mine must be a mosaic of magic, mythology, moral stories, modern messes, and monks on a mission. The books I could read over and over again aren’t just... Continue Reading →
If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why? If I could be a character from a book or film, I wouldn't choose a sword-wielding hero, a spell-casting wizard, or even a glittering vampire (although the glitter is tempting). No, I’d choose something far more underrated, more poetic,... Continue Reading →
What animals make the best/worst pets? Some say, "A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself." And I agree—with a tail-wagging heart. Dogs are sunshine wrapped in fur, loyal as your shadow and better therapists than some professionals. Their ability to lift moods and clean dinner plates... Continue Reading →
What job would you do for free? If I ever had to pick a job that pays in smiles, hugs, and doodled thank-you notes, it would be Children’s Counsellor. Not the clinical kind with a clipboard, but the kind with a cookie jar, a heart radar, and a listening ear that beeps at the sound... Continue Reading →
What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most? I’m not much of a sports person. In fact, if watching Olympic sports was an event, I’d win gold in “Selective Spectating.” Once every four years, the world unites over high jumps and long dives while I unite with my couch wondering, “Is this the one...

How would you improve your community? They say, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” But let’s be honest—sometimes, we just want to binge-watch a series while the world improves itself.Still, community improvement doesn’t require a cape or dramatic background music. It starts with small, quirky, everyday actions.1. Smile—Even If It Confuses... Continue Reading →
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? Covid-19 was the uninvited guest that turned our homes into offices, classrooms, and 24/7 snack stations. It was the ultimate crash course in multitasking—balancing work deadlines while supervising online classes and making sure the Wi-Fi didn’t betray us. "Life isn’t about waiting... Continue Reading →
What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like? They say, "Win the morning, win the day." But what if the morning wins you? My first hour is less like a well-rehearsed symphony and more like a jazz band where every instrument plays at its own pace, yet somehow,... Continue Reading →
Which aspects do you think makes a person unique? Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and thought, “Wow, I’m just another human among 8 billion”? Well, let me stop you right there. You are as unique as a fingerprint at a crime scene—no two alike (unless, of course, you are part of... Continue Reading →
If you could have something named after you, what would it be? What if one day, someone casually mentioned Sharon's name, not because she tripped over her own feet or spilled coffee on her laptop (again), but because something truly meaningful carried her legacy forward? Ah, the sheer joy of hearing: "Welcome to the Sharon... Continue Reading →
What makes you laugh? Very good question! In our busy schedules, we often forget how to laugh. Between deadlines, responsibilities, and pretending we like green smoothies, laughter takes a backseat. But let’s be honest—nothing beats a hearty, uncontrollable, face-cramping laugh. "Laughter is an instant vacation." – Milton Berle. Sometimes, a good comedy movie or a... Continue Reading →
When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? At three, I declared with the conviction of a seasoned expert, "I will be a doctor!" By five, I had the stethoscope (plastic, of course) and the white coat (courtesy of my school’s fancy dress competition). If dreams had degrees, I... Continue Reading →
What’s something most people don’t understand? Once upon a time, in a land not so far away—let’s call it Earth—people possessed a magical ability called empathy. It allowed them to feel what others felt, understand pain without experiencing it firsthand, and offer kindness without expecting a return. But alas, as the world became faster, louder,... Continue Reading →
How has technology changed your job? Once upon a time, my job involved stacks of papers, sticky notes plastered on every surface, and that classic, satisfying thwack of a stamp on a document. Fast forward to today, my work life has morphed into a digital circus, with multiple tabs, endless notifications, and the ever-dreaded "You’re... Continue Reading →
How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? For years, I was a certified "yes" person — the go-to for favors, last-minute plans, and rescuing doomed group projects. If someone asked me to write their notes or cook a meal they liked, my reflexive "sure!" often left me wondering... Continue Reading →
