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. ☕💭
In a world where children recognize app icons before bird calls, and where a blinking notification competes with a child’s laughter, parenting has quietly stepped into a new era. Screens are everywhere—not villains, but certainly not babysitters either. And as parents, we often forget one gentle truth:Childhood is not meant to be downloaded… it is... Continue Reading →
Friendship is a funny thing,It starts with a “Hi” and suddenly— ding!Two random humans, born in different nests,Decide, “Okay, this one… I like the best.”It grows like magic nobody planned,A silly joke, a helping hand.One shared samosa, two laughing fits,A lifetime bond begins in bits.They’re the people who hear your silent scream,And still say, “Chill…...

Have you ever noticed how we humans behave like our phones?We come with default settings, and unless we manually go into the “Settings → Life → Upgrade,” we keep running on the same old version. The funniest part? We fear the update… even though we’re the ones who created half the limitations we’re stuck with!“The... Continue Reading →
Life taps your shoulder softly,Like a friend with secret news,Whispers, “Hey… enjoy this minute—Tomorrow’s still deciding what to choose.”We rush like we’re in marathonsNo one even asked us to run,Forgetting that half the joy of livingIs stopping to feel the sun.We save smiles like bank deposits,Use laughter in “limited edition,”But happiness isn’t a rare antique—It’s...

Family get-togethers are like that favourite dish your mother makes — simple ingredients, but somehow it tastes like pure comfort. In a world where everyone is racing against deadlines, notifications, and endless “to-do” lists, these gatherings remind us of who we are before the world told us who we should be.There is a special kind...

Marriage is one of the most beautiful relationships life gifts us. It begins with long conversations, shared dreams, and that warm comfort of knowing you’ve found “your person.” But somewhere between becoming partners and becoming parents, something funny happens—the husband and wife quietly disappear behind Mom and Dad.We get so busy surviving routines that we...

We often introduce ourselves with job titles, family roles, or zodiac signs. But beneath the labels, beneath the clothes we stuffed back into the wardrobe hoping no one opens it… there lies the real architect of who we are:Our habits.We don’t become who we dream of —we become what we repeatedly do. “Your actions whisper,...

I packed my dreams in a suitcase bright,Ready to chase the stars at night—But halfway there, I tripped on wonder,And life whispered, “Slow down and ponder.”I boarded a train called Someday Soon,But the view outside stole my tune—Mountains giggled, rivers winked,And suddenly my plans… well, shrank and shrank.I asked a stranger, “Are we there yet?”He...

Once upon a time, childhood humour was all about knock-knock jokes, tongue twisters, and laughing because someone accidentally said “aminal” instead of “animal.” Today? Kids think they’re stand-up comedians on Netflix specials. Apparently, roasting is the new currency of cool—even if the joke burns someone’s heart instead of their ego. “Being funny is a talent....

Anger is like Wi-Fi: it pops up suddenly, connects instantly, and if you don’t manage it well… everything around you starts buffering! We all get angry — parents, kids, bosses, even the peacefully sitting dog when you step on its tail. But staying cool in those heated moments is not just a skill; it’s a... Continue Reading →
Your brain’s a tiny gym, my friend,Where thoughts do push-ups end to end.Some thoughts lift joy, some lift despair—The trick is choosing which ones you wear.Negativity? Oh, that lazy guy!Always lounging, eating fries.He whispers, “Why try? Just give up.”But positivity shows up doing sit-ups!Your mind is like a garden patch,Where every thought grows batch by...

In a world that claps loudly for heroes on stage,There are men writing stories on an unwritten page.Not all wear capes, some wear office IDs,Some wear tired smiles after paying EMIs.They stand like lampposts—quiet, steady, bright,Guiding everyone home while ignoring their own night.They joke, “I’m fine,” with a grin ear to ear,But their silence is...

Life often feels like a marathon we never signed up for. Deadlines chase us, kids outrun us, and our own goals keep waving from far away like, “Hey! Remember me?”And in the middle of all this chaos, there’s one tiny truth we often forget:“You don’t need to do everything today. You just need to move…... Continue Reading →
We wake up running, from morning till night,Chasing the deadlines, forgetting our light.Emails keep coming, calls never end,Stress becomes boss, and worry our friend.But in this busy world, one truth stays true—Your mind needs care, and that starts with you.Take a deep breath, pause for a while,Let your tired thoughts rest and smile.You don’t have...

If failure were a guest, most children today would pretend they’re not home. They’d hide behind the sofa, switch off the lights, and whisper, “Shhh… maybe it’ll go away!”But here’s the truth we learned the hard way as adults: failure never goes away… it walks in anyway, and usually makes itself comfortable.And that’s not a...
