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. ☕💭

I feel things are going good, oh what a pleasant scare,Like calm before a toddler’s tantrum — peace too rare!I smile at joy, then squint — “Wait, what’s the catch?”Happiness feels borrowed, like socks that don’t quite match.All things slip like sand from hand, that’s life’s grand show,You tighten your grip — whoosh! there it...

Have you ever watched a toddler learning to walk? They fall, bump into the sofa, trip over air (yes, air!), yet somehow keep going with the determination of a tiny superhero.

Who are the biggest influences in your life? Have you ever met someone who unknowingly leaves an imprint on your mind, not by their name but by their actions? I find myself constantly inspired by such encounters. It’s not people who influence me; it’s their behaviours that echo in my thoughts long after.Take assertiveness, for... Continue Reading →
Describe a man who has positively impacted your life. They say every life is a canvas, and the people we meet are the colors that bring it to life. For me, one of the most vibrant and enduring hues comes from my aunt, my mom's sister. She's not just a relative; she's the Mona Lisa... Continue Reading →
Share five things you're good at. "Be the reason someone believes in the goodness of people again."

Are you more of a night or morning person? "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise," they say. But what if your brain replies, "Nice try, but I run on nocturnal fuel!" For years, I’ve proudly embraced the night owl lifestyle, with my brain firing on all cylinders... Continue Reading →
What are your two favorite things to wear? When it comes to fashion, my closet is like a Bollywood movie—full of drama, a touch of comedy, and the occasional identity crisis. On one side, there’s the sharp, no-nonsense vibe of jeans and shirts; on the other, the flowing, timeless elegance of sarees.My all-time favourite: Jeans... Continue Reading →

Name the most expensive personal item you've ever purchased (not your home or car). I’m not much of a spender. Really. Apart from a laptop and a tablet, the “expensive” list is pretty empty. Once in a blue moon, I’ll buy a little gold, just to remind myself I can still sparkle. But other than... Continue Reading →
