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.

Clothes would not just fit; they’d... Continue Reading →
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?

What's the most money you've ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it?

Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that. Earlier today, buried deep under celebrity gossip and cricket scores, I stumbled upon a headline so uninteresting, it almost yawned at me: “Pothole on 4th Cross Street Repaired After 6 Months.” No dramatic visuals. No angry mobs.... Continue Reading →
List 30 things that make you happy. "Happiness is not a pursuit; it's a personal playlist we often forget to press play on." – Unknown but probably me, on a good day.

What traditions have you not kept that your parents had? My childhood was steeped in the aroma of freshly cooked meals, the sound of clinking plates, and conversations that danced around the dining table like old friends. My mom and grandparents made me believe that "a family that eats together, stays together" wasn’t just a... Continue Reading →
Was today typical? Some days don’t come with fireworks or surprise confetti. They arrive gently, like today—wrapped in grey clouds and the soothing scent of wet earth. A typical day, you’d say. Kids went off to school like mini tornadoes with bags bigger than their dreams. I sat down to work, hopeful that today—just maybe—I... Continue Reading →
