Advertisements that sound Perverted to Dirty Mind

It happened on this lazy afternoon with downpours outside the window that while I was changing the channels, I came across various advertisements and realized “I do have a Dirty Mind”. Needless to say that nowadays most of the ads reflect something humorous in addition to the promotion of products, some advertisements actually highlight the essence of "double meaning". Or this might be a silly assumption of mine!

The Demon Lives Within!

We live in the 21st century where we have lovers, haters, lovers that turn into haters and foes who fall for each other. The fact has no surprise that “Angel” is amongst the most common nouns we use for our beloved. And so, on the contrary, there are individuals who describe their haters as “Demons”. Ridiculous! However, as it’s none of our concern, coming to the point, it’s worth letting you know in the beginning that this is not a story about Love. Neither does it have anything to do with Hate. It’s about Demons. The Demon who restricts us from doing what we are supposed to do. The Demon, who snatches our happiness and leaves us depressed. Most importantly, the Demon lives within our physical body. “Strange”? Yeah, it is!


You must be questioning the thought while your brain is speaking “How can a Demon live within us? We don’t have two red-colored horns on our head; neither have we had an ugly face!” But as exterior beauty is deceptive, we might have no idea that our soul has been incarcerated by the Demon while we were polishing our face with a beautiful smile and eye-catching blushes!

We feel helpless every time we are being ruled by Him. We understand that our soul is not working the way our brain wants it to perform. But, on a positive note, it’s a part of everyone’s life and I too have felt the same. I realized it when I saw myself in the broken mirror on a stormy night filled with darkness. As the result, the idea of expressing my state of affairs came across my mind and I ended up writing the following verses.

I am the killer of my own soul,
I restrict myself just one step behind the door to the goal.
I know I've got to walk down the path all alone,
Still, I’m addicted to the person I talk for hours over the phone.

I've been a purpose of envy, not by the society, but by my mentality, 
For what fate has in store for me, differs from what I’ll rather be.


They say Love is in the Air. Shit!
Maybe that is why I can’t breathe easy;
Somehow I still change the road to destiny
By doing nothing when I’m supposed to be busy.

I know the wrong and the right since my first night,
However, I shake hands with the foe against whom I was destined to fight.

I climb the ladder, make it fall and let it break,
I drive the car called Life, notice obstacles, but fail to hit the brake.

Hell! I find my head bleeding when I wake up on the floor;
I get on my feet to see what’s available in the store.

Pancakes of success, pills of defeat are what I see,
I raise my hands to grab the pancake, but it’s the pills that I pick from the shelf.
So I guess I’m highly intoxicated by the intentions of my soul,
Need help! Not to guide me to success, but to save me from myself!

Having said so much during the time when I required help desperately, it developed the idea and made me believe that Demons do exist within us. Sometimes, the Demon is assisted by our emotions that restrict us from getting over something bad. It doesn't allow our soul to change lanes and walk on the right path. On some occasions, it’s the situation that strengthens the Demon to rule our soul and imprison our positive thoughts.

Sadly, I've been a victim of myself because I've let the Demon supersede. Have you made the same mistake by giving the power to have control over your soul to your Demon? If you’re nodding, we have got to fight our Demons. We need to gather the mental power, get over the depression and fill every loophole that makes us weak. Our intentions should be strong, positive and realistic. Our soul should be full of happiness and heart full of love (even for the ones who hate us).

So it’s time to get better by realizing that we’re not alone or weak enough to be controlled by anything. Let yourself live without fears. Develop the courage to stand again, no matter how many times you fall. Let's gain experience and learn something from everything. Let's fill our brain with positive thoughts. Most importantly, Let’s have a strong mind! Remember our brain is supposed to decide, whether we let our soul “live” or simply let the Demon reside!
