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. ☕💭
The mirror whispers softly,“Slow down, take a look,”Not 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, “That’s enough!” The mirror doesn’t judge your flaws,It simply holds your face—The tired eyes, the hopeful grin,The...

I once stored all my joy in a fancy “Tomorrow Box,”Locked it tight, kept the key in my mismatched socks.“I’ll open it later,” I said with a confident grin—But later got lazy and simply didn’t check in.So I waited for a “perfect day” to begin.But perfect days are sneaky… they rarely walk in.They tiptoe around...

Life rarely changes because of giant, dramatic decisions. It changes because of the invisible, almost laughably small things we do every day.Like tiny hinges that move giant doors, these micro habits hold surprising power. “Small steps done consistently create the loudest transformations.” Here are ten unique micro habits that can quietly (and sometimes comically) upgrade...

Ever noticed how your laptop slows down when too many tabs are open? It freezes, behaves dramatically, pretends it’s processing NASA-level data, and finally begs for a restart.Well… welcome to you.We’re all walking, talking, multitasking humans with 47 mental tabs open at once — and at least 12 of them are frozen. Yet, we expect... Continue Reading →

In a world where children recognize app icons before bird calls, and where a blinking notification competes with a child’s laughter, parenting has quietly stepped into a new era. Screens are everywhere—not villains, but certainly not babysitters either. And as parents, we often forget one gentle truth:Childhood is not meant to be downloaded… it is... Continue Reading →
Have you ever noticed how we humans behave like our phones?We come with default settings, and unless we manually go into the “Settings → Life → Upgrade,” we keep running on the same old version. The funniest part? We fear the update… even though we’re the ones who created half the limitations we’re stuck with!“The... Continue Reading →
Life taps your shoulder softly,Like a friend with secret news,Whispers, “Hey… enjoy this minute—Tomorrow’s still deciding what to choose.”We rush like we’re in marathonsNo one even asked us to run,Forgetting that half the joy of livingIs stopping to feel the sun.We save smiles like bank deposits,Use laughter in “limited edition,”But happiness isn’t a rare antique—It’s...

Family get-togethers are like that favourite dish your mother makes — simple ingredients, but somehow it tastes like pure comfort. In a world where everyone is racing against deadlines, notifications, and endless “to-do” lists, these gatherings remind us of who we are before the world told us who we should be.There is a special kind...

Marriage is one of the most beautiful relationships life gifts us. It begins with long conversations, shared dreams, and that warm comfort of knowing you’ve found “your person.” But somewhere between becoming partners and becoming parents, something funny happens—the husband and wife quietly disappear behind Mom and Dad.We get so busy surviving routines that we...

We often introduce ourselves with job titles, family roles, or zodiac signs. But beneath the labels, beneath the clothes we stuffed back into the wardrobe hoping no one opens it… there lies the real architect of who we are:Our habits.We don’t become who we dream of —we become what we repeatedly do. “Your actions whisper,...

I packed my dreams in a suitcase bright,Ready to chase the stars at night—But halfway there, I tripped on wonder,And life whispered, “Slow down and ponder.”I boarded a train called Someday Soon,But the view outside stole my tune—Mountains giggled, rivers winked,And suddenly my plans… well, shrank and shrank.I asked a stranger, “Are we there yet?”He...

Once upon a time, childhood humour was all about knock-knock jokes, tongue twisters, and laughing because someone accidentally said “aminal” instead of “animal.” Today? Kids think they’re stand-up comedians on Netflix specials. Apparently, roasting is the new currency of cool—even if the joke burns someone’s heart instead of their ego. “Being funny is a talent....

Anger is like Wi-Fi: it pops up suddenly, connects instantly, and if you don’t manage it well… everything around you starts buffering! We all get angry — parents, kids, bosses, even the peacefully sitting dog when you step on its tail. But staying cool in those heated moments is not just a skill; it’s a... Continue Reading →
In a world that claps loudly for heroes on stage,There are men writing stories on an unwritten page.Not all wear capes, some wear office IDs,Some wear tired smiles after paying EMIs.They stand like lampposts—quiet, steady, bright,Guiding everyone home while ignoring their own night.They joke, “I’m fine,” with a grin ear to ear,But their silence is...
