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. ☕💭
What's the most delicious thing you've ever eaten? They say, “Food is memories seasoned with love,” and I must agree—because when someone asks me the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten, I freeze like a spoon in kulfi. How on earth can I choose one?Each bite from my life tells a story.My mom’s chicken curry?... Continue Reading →
If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be? First of all, let’s set the record straight—nobody can force me to wear anything. Not even fashion police or that overly opinionated aunty at weddings who thinks my wardrobe needs divine intervention. But if the world suddenly turned into... Continue Reading →
How important is spirituality in your life? Spirituality is not a Sunday-only outfit I dust off once a week. It’s the comfy pajamas of my soul — worn, lived in, and essential for survival. It's the unspoken playlist humming in the background of my chaotic life — soft, steady, sacred.You see, while some people start... Continue Reading →
How do you practice self-care? Self-care isn’t always bubble baths and yoga at sunrise. Sometimes, it’s just about pausing and telling yourself, “You matter.” It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being real. These are my oddly wonderful, simple ways to stay sane and happy. No fancy routines, just small moments that feel like home.1. Dance... Continue Reading →
How do you waste the most time every day? They say time flies when you're having fun. But in my case, time vanishes like socks in a washing machine—mysteriously and without warning. Every day, I promise myself just 10 minutes on the phone. You know, a quick scroll, one reel, one article, one meme. Just... Continue Reading →
Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? They say time travel doesn’t exist, but bite into an old-school ice candy — what we proudly called Pepsi in the glorious '90s — and boom, you're seven again, barefoot, wild-haired, and sticky-fingered.Every Sunday, like clockwork, he came — not a superhero, not a...

Who is your favorite historical figure? . "ಭಯವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ನುಡಿ, ಅಜ್ಞಾನವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ನುಡಿ, ದ್ವೇಷವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ನುಡಿ."“Speak without fear, speak without ignorance, speak without hatred.” In pages worn and ink now pale,I found a fire, steady, hale.Not a warrior with sword or steed—But a pen, a dream, and fearless creed.He spoke of Rama not in gold,But as a man—strong,...

Write about your first crush. Crush.Such a tiny word for the tsunami it brings inside us.Say it out loud, and you’re instantly teleported to the clumsy, dreamy corridors of school life—where hearts raced faster than the school bell. Oh no, my first crush came with curly hair, poetic dialogues, and a flair for slow-motion walks... Continue Reading →
What countries do you want to visit? What countries do I want to visit? Honestly, all of them. If Vitamin M – M for Money, not Mangoes – ever decides to flow freely into my account, you might just see me at every airport gift shop, buying magnets I don’t need and smiling in languages...

What’s your favorite thing about yourself? If you ever asked me, “What’s your favorite thing about yourself?” I’d probably answer, “My mind—because it’s got better range than my home Wi-Fi and rarely disconnects in awkward social situations.”There’s something magical about liking your own brain. It’s not about IQ or degrees or how many tabs you... Continue Reading →
How do you want to retire? Retirement. Ah yes—the grand finale of the 9-to-5 symphony, when meetings become memories and deadlines are just for baking. For some, it’s a yacht. For others, it’s yoga. For me? It's a world where **"Wake up time" is a myth, and "What should I do today?" is answered with... Continue Reading →
What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? There it sits—worn at the edges, the cover faded like an old photograph, pages wrinkled with wisdom and watermarks from tears (and spilled coffee). No leather-bound luxury, no gold-embossed modern upgrade—just my humble Bible, the oldest thing I own and the most used object... Continue Reading →
Describe one of your favorite moments. Some moments are like bubble wraps—pop one, and a hundred memories spill out.It’s almost unfair to ask for a “favourite moment” when life serves an entire buffet. There are mornings that smell like hope, afternoons that taste like chaos, and evenings that feel like a lullaby. But then, some... Continue Reading →
What notable things happened today? Today, the skies wept like a Bollywood heroine in the climax scene, and as the rain poured, so did the chaos inside my home.School declared a holiday — not for any festive reason, but because the roads outside looked like reluctant rivers forming without Google Maps’ permission. And just like... Continue Reading →
What are you passionate about? They say passion is fire. But mine? Mine is more like a warm, bubbling pot of stew—comforting, messy, sometimes spicy, but always filling.I’m passionate about many things. In fact, I might just be an emotional multipurpose tool—like a Swiss Army knife but with more glitter and less blade.🖋️ Writing is... Continue Reading →
