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. ☕💭
Once upon a time 😉, a family sat together on a sofa—each member deeply engrossed in their own screen. The room was full, yet oddly silent. If walls could talk, they’d probably clear their throat and say, “Excuse me… remember conversation?”Interpersonal communication—the ancient skill of talking, listening, nodding, misunderstanding, clarifying, laughing, and sometimes apologizing—is the...

There’s always that one friend—not the loudest in your photo frame,not the fanciest in your contact list,but the one whose presence feels likea Wi-Fi signal for your soul—strong, stable, and always reconnectingeven after life’s network drops.They’re the friend who knowsyour real laugh,the one that sounds like a pressure cooker whistlemixed with a burst of pure...

Friendship is the only magic that doesn’t need a wand, a spell, or a Hogwarts admission letter. It simply requires two people who look at each other and think, “Ah yes, you’re as wonderfully weird as I am.”A genuine friend—one who shares your wavelength, your humour, and your madness—is not just a companion; they’re your...

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…...

What quality do you value most in a friend? Some say friendship is built on shared interests. Others say it’s built on time. But I say—it starts with a vibe. That magical unspoken "I get you" connection. If vibes don’t match, even a cup of coffee feels like a thesis discussion. But when they do?... Continue Reading →
Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to. "Some souls just click, no matter where they meet." Life has a funny way of surprising us. Sometimes, in a foreign land, among unfamiliar faces, we stumble upon a bond so deep that it feels like fate was just waiting for the right... Continue Reading →
Who are your favorite people to be around? They say, "Good friends are like stars. You don’t always see them, but you know they’re always there." I couldn’t agree more. My family is my world, but my friends? They are the chaos in my otherwise structured life, the therapists I don’t pay, and the stress... Continue Reading →
What is your favorite animal? Dogs, often called man’s best friend, epitomize loyalty, protection, and unconditional love. Their presence enriches our lives, offering companionship and comfort in ways that are hard to articulate. While I currently don't have any pets, my heart still beats for Roy and Tiger, my childhood companions who were more than... Continue Reading →
What is the greatest gift someone could give you? The greatest gift isn’t wrapped in shiny paper, tied with a bow, or tucked under a tree. It doesn’t come with a receipt or need batteries to function. For me, it’s simpler yet infinitely more meaningful: quality time, heartfelt love, the magic of true friendship, and...

What makes you feel nostalgic? Nostalgia is that unexpected guest who rings your doorbell uninvited yet is always welcome. It sneaks in with a whiff of an old book or the jingling notes of a childhood tune. Suddenly, you’re back in your mom’s kitchen, wearing mismatched socks, waiting impatiently for her to serve steaming hot... Continue Reading →
What relationships have a positive impact on you? Relationships are the lifeblood of our existence, weaving together the tapestry of our lives with love, trust, and shared moments. They ground us, lift us, and sometimes even hilariously frustrate us, but at the core, they define who we are.As a daughter and granddaughter, I’ve learned the... Continue Reading →
Who are your current most favorite people? In the grand theater of life, we meet countless people—some fleeting like whispers in the wind, others anchoring us like rocks in a storm. Each one leaves a mark, a lesson, or a memory etched in the sands of time. I am blessed, truly, for the incredible people... Continue Reading →
