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. ☕💭
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the invisible Wi-Fi between your mind and your heart. When it works well, life feels smoother; when it glitches, even a simple “good morning” can turn into a full-blown argument. Daniel Goleman, in his famous book Emotional Intelligence, says, “If your emotional abilities aren’t in hand… then no matter how smart... Continue Reading →
Somewhere between spilled coffee, unread messages, and a day that refuses to cooperate, life whispers a tiny truth we often miss: nothing is permanently ugly unless we decide to stare at it with closed eyes.Perspective is a magician.It doesn’t change the trick — it changes the angle.Look at the word EVIL.Turn it around gently, like...

We often believe patience arrives with age, experience, or maybe after reading a self-help book with a calm-looking Buddha on the cover. But truth be told, patience actually enters our lives barefoot, drooling slightly, and holding a half-eaten biscuit it refuses to share.Toddlers are not just small humans learning to live; they are full-time professors...

Some days, happiness doesn’t leave the house.It sits on the sofa, scrolling through memories, wearing yesterday’s pyjamas, and refusing to make eye contact with motivation.Feeling depressed doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like silence, tired smiles, unfinished to-do lists, and a heart saying, “I’m fine,” when it isn’t.The good news?You don’t need a personality... Continue Reading →
We live in a world that claps loudly for destinations but whispers politely about journeys. The moment you reach the top, people cheer. But when you’re halfway up, slightly breathless, questioning your life choices and holding a coffee like it’s emotional support — no one really notices.And that’s unfair.Because the halfway-you is doing the hardest...

Once upon a time, multitasking was crowned the ultimate badge of efficiency. The more things you juggled, the smarter you were considered. Answer emails while cooking? Bravo. Attend a meeting while folding laundry? Standing ovation. Help kids with homework while scrolling reels and mentally drafting tomorrow’s to-do list? You, my friend, were declared a modern-day...

In a world where everything is available at the tap of a screen and every wish arrives faster than a blink, patience has quietly slipped out of the back door. We live in a generation that tracks deliveries in minutes, loads videos in seconds, and expects results instantly — and our children are growing up... Continue Reading →
We grow up believing applause comes from outside — from parents who say “well done,” teachers who draw a star, friends who cheer, bosses who approve.But somewhere between childhood trophies and adult responsibilities, we forget a simple truth: Sometimes the world is too busy to notice your brilliance — clap anyway. People won’t always see... Continue Reading →
When life starts acting dramatic, like a daily soap gone wrong,And your brain shouts “I quit!” after working overtime too long,There walks in a friend—uninvited, unfiltered, and free—Saying, “Relax, drama queen, have chai… and talk to me.”Friendship is therapy wrapped in giggles and grace,A magic that wipes the frown right off your worried face.No appointments...
