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.

Yesterday morning, my child stood in front of the cupboard like a confused fashion designer at Paris Fashion Week. One sock was blue. The other had dinosaurs. The T-shirt clearly did not match either. I opened my mouth to say, “No, no, no,” but then I remembered something important—I wasn’t raising a mannequin. I was... Continue Reading →
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.

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.

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.

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 →
