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. ☕💭
If life were a movie, most of us wait for that dramatic background music — a big turning point, a life-changing speech, or some magical overnight transformation.But in reality?Life changes when nobody is watching.Life changes in slippers, with messy hair, unfinished to-do lists, and the last sip of cold tea.Small habits are like silent ninjas.They...

Once upon a time, “screen time” meant sitting in front of a bulky TV while your mom yelled from the kitchen, “Don’t sit too close!” Fast-forward to now — everyone’s sitting close… to every kind of screen imaginable. From tablets to smart fridges (that know when you finish the ice cream 😅), the digital world... Continue Reading →
I made a plan last Sunday noon,Not coffee with friends, not Netflix soon.Just me and me — a quiet spree,No notifications, just honesty.I brewed my thoughts like morning tea,Strong, a bit bitter, but truly me.I asked my heart, “Hey, what’s your dream?”It whispered softly, “Don’t forget your gleam.”I laughed at myself — oh, what a...

Somewhere between answering emails, juggling deadlines, replying to WhatsApp groups you didn’t sign up for, and convincing yourself that this weekend you’ll finally rest—you forget one simple truth: you are not a machine. You are human, and even the strongest minds need a pit stop before they burn out on the highway of routine.A mental... Continue Reading →
There’s a phase many parents know all too well — when your child confidently declares, “I know that!” before you’ve even finished your sentence.You could be explaining why the moon looks bigger some nights or why broccoli is good for health, and there it comes — the proud, pre-installed “I know that.”And you stand there,...

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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
