Welcome to Sharonâs Read and Reflect â a cozy corner for curious minds and wandering thoughts! âš Iâm Sharon Clara Fernandes, someone who believes reading adds wings to the mind and writing gives it a voice. đ 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 â and Iâm learning right along with you! So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and letâs journey through words together. âđ
Procrastination is not laziness. Laziness is doing nothing and feeling okay about it. Procrastination is doing everything else while feeling guilty about not doing the one thing that matters. Itâs replying to emails you donât need to reply to, reorganizing your cupboard at midnight, and suddenly remembering to water a plant that survived weeks of... Continue Reading →
Some movies entertain you, some move you, and then there is Dear Zindagi â a film that gently taps your shoulder like a wise friend and says, âSit down⊠now letâs talk.â It is not a film you simply watch; it is a feeling you slowly absorb. With humor, heart, and a sprinkle of Shah... Continue Reading →
The mirror whispers softly,âSlow down, take a look,âNot at the frizz in your morning hairOr the curry stain you mistook. See the warrior who woke again,Though yesterday felt rough;See the soul who still tries to smileWhen life shouts, âThatâs enough!â The mirror doesnât judge your flaws,It simply holds your faceâThe tired eyes, the hopeful grin,The...

There lives a tiny Stress MonsterIn everyoneâs busy headâIt wakes up with us every morningBefore we even leave the bed.It whispers, âDeadlines! Laundry! Emails!âWith a dramatic shaky sigh,And if we dare ignore it,It grows ten times its size.But fear not, dear warrior,For Iâve found tricks that beat this pestâA toolkit of gentle magicTo give your...

Ever noticed how your laptop slows down when too many tabs are open? It freezes, behaves dramatically, pretends itâs processing NASA-level data, and finally begs for a restart.Well⊠welcome to you.Weâre all walking, talking, multitasking humans with 47 mental tabs open at once â and at least 12 of them are frozen. Yet, we expect... Continue Reading →
If life were a movie, most of us wait for that dramatic background music â 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...

Remember when neighbors borrowed sugar, not Wi-Fi passwords? When people asked âHow are you?â and actually waited for the answer? Somewhere between urgent emails and Insta reels, we misplaced something precious â empathy, the ability to truly understand and feel what another person is going through.Today, we live in a world where everyoneâs sprinting â...

My mind is a cooker, the whistleâs on delay,Thoughts keep bubblingâoh, they donât go away!Deadlines are cumin seeds popping in oil,While worries are onions that refuse to broil.Each morning I wake with a to-do stew,Add a pinch of guilt, and anxiety too.Emails, errands, endless chatter,Lifeâs recipeâoh what a clatter!âRelax,â they say, âdonât take stress!âAs if...

Thereâs a storm in her brain, a circus on loop,Ideas cartwheel, and thoughts â somersault in a group!She hums when she studies, she dances when still,Her âfocusâ is a traveler, roaming at will.âSit straight!â I plead, âJust finish your sum!âShe nods⊠then forgets why her fingers went numb.A pencilâs a rocket, a bookâs now a...

If life were a movie, it would definitely fall under the unpredictable drama-comedy category â with surprise plot twists, random guest appearances, and moments that make you laugh, cry, and question your snack choices. One day youâre dancing in the rain, and the next, youâre Googling, âWhy is everything happening to me?âBut hereâs the truth... Continue Reading →
Ever noticed how two people can face the same situation, yet one calls it âa disasterâ while the other says, âa lessonâ? Thatâs the magic (and sometimes madness) of thoughts â 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...

Thereâs a shelf in my brain, a dusty one too,Stacked with old worriesâsome vintage, some new.A few labelled âRegretsâ, one âWhat-ifsâ in blue,And a whole box marked âStuff I Canât Undo.âSo, I rolled up my sleeves, grabbed a mop made of hope,To tidy those thoughts that made it hard to cope.Tossed out old grudgesâexpired, stale...

Between smiles and sighs, emotions hide,We wear strength, but cracks reside.Itâs not the storms that tear hearts apartâItâs the silent rain inside the heart. đ Have you ever noticed how itâs not the big storms that sink most relationshipsâbut the slow leaks we ignore for years? The tiny hurts. The unspoken âI wish you understood.â... Continue Reading →
