I was confident the time would pass while I lost myself online, keeping up with (dis)information on my gadget...I felt a little bored. It was then that I noticed a magazine on another chair nearby. What caught my eye was how artistic and colourful the cover was, so I grabbed it, in need of distraction. Its cover was a piece of art with a unique title – COROMIND? My interest piqued, I turned the pages.2025-07-0303 minCoromindCoromind Magazine - Issue 31, 2025Coromind Magazine Issue 31Full Audio Version2025-07-031h 04CoromindCoromind Magazine - Issue 30, 2025This is the 30th issue of Coromind!
