In a small, sleepy town nestled between rolling hills, there lived a woman named Eleanor. Her life was marked by an ephemeral quality, as she had an uncanny ability to foresee events of great significance for fleeting moments, like glimpses into another world. However, these visions were often lugubrious, foretelling tragedies that cast a shadow over her otherwise effulgent spirit.

One fateful evening, as the sun bathed the town in a warm, golden glow, Eleanor experienced one of her most vivid and unsettling visions yet. She saw a nefarious plot unfolding, shrouded in darkness and deceit. A cacophony of whispers and hushed conversations filled her ears as she beheld the faces of those she had known for years, twisted by malevolent intent.

Determined not to let this nefarious plan come to fruition, Eleanor embarked on a mission to uncover the truth behind her vision. She delved into the town's history, unearthing long-buried secrets and hidden rivalries. The more she uncovered, the clearer the sinister plot became.


As she pieced together the puzzle, Eleanor realized that she couldn't face this challenge alone. She enlisted the help of her closest friends, who, despite their initial scepticism, couldn't ignore the urgency in her voice. Together, they formed an unlikely alliance to thwart the nefarious forces at play.

In the end, it was Eleanor's effulgent determination and her friends' unwavering support that prevailed over the darkness that had threatened to engulf their town. They exposed the malevolent conspirators and brought them to justice, restoring peace and harmony to their once-troubled community.

Eleanor's ephemeral visions, though lugubrious in nature, had served as a beacon of warning, guiding her toward a path of courage and resilience. Through their collective efforts, they had transformed the cacophony of deceit into a symphony of truth and justice, leaving their town forever changed.

 Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness for Combating Overthinking, Achieving Stress Relief, and Attaining Absolute Peace  Deekay | Book Review What is turbulence? Any thoughts, or have you ever tried to tame any animal? I remember watching circus shows organised once a year in the city's open area for all the locals to enjoy. There I used to cherish the person who tamed the elephants or the lion (if any). But today I thought of taming my mind. Every second our thoughts are randomly moving and giving us goosebumps. Nowadays people have so many threads of work looming in their minds that they feel like completing but fail to prioritise. To dive into a river is not easy. But only a few people have the calibre to do that. The same is true with diving in your mind. This practice needs calmness of mind and anxiety levels to be very low. I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...
