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. ☕💭
Are you a lifelong learner? Before anyone asks what I do for a living, I hope they ask me something far more interesting: "Are you a lifelong learner?" My answer arrives before the question is finished—Yes. Without a doubt.Learning has never felt like homework to me. It feels like opening a window in a room... Continue Reading →
What’s a book you think deserves a sequel? Some books are strangely dishonest. They politely write "The End," yet refuse to leave our hearts.Days later, while sipping tea, waiting at a traffic signal, or searching for the TV remote that has mysteriously disappeared into another dimension, their characters quietly return. They sit beside us, asking... Continue Reading →
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? If someone gave me a choice to live anywhere in the world, my younger self wouldn't even pause."Switzerland," she'd say.And honestly, I blame Bollywood. After watching ** (DDLJ)**, I was convinced that happiness lived somewhere between snow-covered mountains, emerald meadows, and tiny wooden... Continue Reading →
Is a little chaos actually good for us? I've been thinking about this lately, and strangely, I feel the answer is yes.Not the kind of chaos that hurts people or turns life upside down. Just the little, unexpected messes that interrupt our perfectly planned days. The kind we complain about in the moment but smile... Continue Reading →
Who is your favorite blogger to follow? Today's topic made me pause for a moment. Who is my favourite blogger? At first, I thought of well-known names and popular websites. But the more I reflected on it, the more I realised that my answer had very little to do with fame.My favourite blogger isn't necessarily... Continue Reading →
Go on a walk today and share a photo of something that catches your eye. Today, while the world was busy racing somewhere important, the sun quietly sat near the edge of the road like an old grandfather waiting for no one in particular.No notifications.No deadlines.No “urgent meeting.”Just a pink-orange ball hanging lazily in the...

We humans are exceptional starters. Give us a Monday, a new notebook, a fresh year, or even a random 3:17 PM burst of motivation—and boom! A new life begins. Gym memberships are bought, journals are opened, diets are declared, and dreams are loudly announced.But somewhere between “Day 1” and “One day,” things quietly fall apart.... Continue Reading →
There’s something beautifully inconvenient about the human brain. Out of all the intelligent, logical, problem-solving abilities it possesses, it still occasionally behaves like a hopeless romantic who forgot to read the instruction manual of reality.You know the feeling.That quiet pull toward someone.That unnecessary smile when their name pops up.That strange comfort in just being around...

If your brain came with a manual, most of us would have lost it somewhere between school homework and adult responsibilities. Yet here we are—walking around with the most advanced supercomputer ever created, using it mainly to remember passwords, overthink conversations from 2009, and decide what to cook for dinner.Let’s be honest. “We own a...

If you’ve ever heard your children argue over who touched whose imaginary boundary line on the sofa, congratulations—you are officially raising siblings.Siblings don’t just fight. They perform. One moment they are sharing snacks like saints, and the next moment they are debating ownership of a pencil like it’s ancestral property.“Why does he always take my... Continue Reading →
There’s a strange magic in conversations that don’t check your ID before entering your soul.You could be twenty or fifty, from a different city, culture, or even a completely different life script—and yet, when the vibe matches, it feels like you’ve known each other since your souls were in kindergarten together.Because real connection doesn’t ask,...

Somewhere between packing lunch boxes, answering office calls, finding missing socks, and remembering who likes less sugar in their milk, a silent myth is born — “A good mother is always available.”It sounds noble. It feels right. But let’s be honest… it’s also a little dangerous.Because being “always available” often means being always exhausted.And exhaustion... Continue Reading →
There’s a tiny, uninvited guest that quietly moves into our hearts the day someone we love rearranges their priorities. It doesn’t knock. It doesn’t introduce itself. It just sits there, sipping on our thoughts and whispering, “You’ve been replaced.”We call it jealousy. Or insecurity. But honestly, it’s just love feeling a little lost.“I’m not upset...

There are wars fought with swords, wars fought with words… and then there are wars fought silently inside the human heart. The third one, unfortunately, has the highest population.Emotional conflict is like having two roommates in your mind who absolutely cannot stand each other. One says, “Be strong.” The other whispers, “Just cry a little.”... Continue Reading →
Expectations are funny little things. They arrive quietly, sit comfortably in our hearts, and behave as if they own the place. At first, they feel harmless—almost sweet. After all, what is love without expectation? A mother expects her child to call. A friend expects a message on their birthday. A partner expects understanding after a... Continue Reading →
