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. ☕💭
When crayons become magic wands,And walls turn into fairy lands,When mud pies are five-star cuisine,And giggles rule the in-between—Let them be little, let them play,Don’t rush them to grow today.Their world’s still painted in wonder’s hue,Each question starts with, “But why can’t I too?”We teach them math, we teach them speed,But forget they only need—A...

They say life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.But let’s be honest—those breathtaking moments don’t happen every day. Sometimes, it’s just spilled coffee, traffic jams, and that one slipper that always goes missing when you’re late. Yet, somehow, these tiny, ordinary slices... Continue Reading →
I feel things are going good, oh what a pleasant scare,Like calm before a toddler’s tantrum — peace too rare!I smile at joy, then squint — “Wait, what’s the catch?”Happiness feels borrowed, like socks that don’t quite match.All things slip like sand from hand, that’s life’s grand show,You tighten your grip — whoosh! there it...

Perfection—what a fancy little trap wrapped in glitter and self-doubt!We chase it like a butterfly, thinking if we just try a bit harder, we’ll finally catch it. But by the time we almost do, it flutters away, leaving us holding… an empty net and a missed deadline.The truth is simple yet revolutionary: done is better... Continue Reading →
There’s a storm in her brain, a circus on loop,Ideas cartwheel, and thoughts — somersault in a group!She hums when she studies, she dances when still,Her “focus” is a traveler, roaming at will.“Sit straight!” I plead, “Just finish your sum!”She nods… then forgets why her fingers went numb.A pencil’s a rocket, a book’s now a...

Remember the time when our biggest classroom distraction was passing chits or sneaking a comic book inside a textbook? Fast forward to today—our children are learning algebra on tablets, editing videos on apps we can’t even pronounce, and asking ChatGPT for homework help while we’re still figuring out how to turn off the “caps lock”...

If life were a movie, it would definitely fall under the unpredictable drama-comedy category — with surprise plot twists, random guest appearances, and moments that make you laugh, cry, and question your snack choices. One day you’re dancing in the rain, and the next, you’re Googling, “Why is everything happening to me?”But here’s the truth... Continue Reading →
Some mornings I wake like an unplugged phone,Battery drained, spirit half gone.Mind says, “Maybe let’s quit today,”Body replies, “We can’t — bills don’t delay!”I drag my soul with a cup of tea,Whispering, “Wake up, world — and me!”My thoughts yawn wider than my mouth,While dreams still sleep in a cozy drought.But life’s not built on...

Ever noticed how two people can face the same situation, yet one calls it “a disaster” while the other says, “a lesson”? That’s the magic (and sometimes madness) of thoughts — the invisible paintbrush that colours your world.If life were a canvas, your thoughts would be the strokes that decide whether it becomes a masterpiece...

There’s a shelf in my brain, a dusty one too,Stacked with old worries—some vintage, some new.A few labelled “Regrets”, one “What-ifs” in blue,And a whole box marked “Stuff I Can’t Undo.”So, I rolled up my sleeves, grabbed a mop made of hope,To tidy those thoughts that made it hard to cope.Tossed out old grudges—expired, stale...

Let’s face it — life today feels like a never-ending episode of “Who Wants to Be Stressed for No Reason?”From juggling deadlines, kids, family, and phones that refuse to stop buzzing, we’ve somehow normalized exhaustion as an achievement. We sip our morning coffee like it’s liquid hope and still wonder why peace feels like an... Continue Reading →
Have you ever replayed an argument in your head so many times that it deserves an Oscar nomination? You know, that imaginary courtroom inside your mind where you’re both the lawyer and the judge—winning every time. Yet somehow, despite your repeated victories, you still feel heavy. Why? Because grudges are like emotional dumbbells—you think you’re... Continue Reading →
Struggle — a word that makes most of us roll our eyes, sigh dramatically, and wish for an easier life. But here’s the plot twist: the struggle isn’t your enemy; it’s your secret personal trainer — shaping your strength, resilience, and character quietly behind the scenes.“A diamond is just a piece of charcoal that handled...

There’s glitter on the floor and sweets on the plate,Aunties are gossiping — oh, isn’t that great?Kids with sparklers are ruling the street,While dads check the lights that never complete.Moms in saris, glowing more than the lamps,Selfies galore — from queens to the champs!The house smells of laddoos, love, and new paint,(And chaos so pure,...

Have you ever watched a toddler learning to walk? They fall, bump into the sofa, trip over air (yes, air!), yet somehow keep going with the determination of a tiny superhero. Now imagine if adults had that same energy every time life knocked them down. We’d all be unstoppable!That, my friend, is the power of... Continue Reading →
