Tonsuring young boy' head. kerala temple
Samayam Malayalam

At a busy crowded Hindu temple in Tamil Nadu, two Yogis  were trading talks in front of the main Gopuram (tower). They saw so many people emerging out of the holy place with their head 
tonsured. 
 One Yogi said,  ''These people sincerely making  an offering to the god - tonsuring their head once in a while at the holy place for the welfare of their families and lead contended lives. I really appreciate their contentment which is good for the mental well being."

The other Yogi with hesitation and in rage  said, "Look at our 'neta' (politician); almost daily, they  have 10 to 20 heads tonsured   when people go to him for a favor. They commit 100 sins daily and make a bundle of ill-gotten money. They neither have contentment nor do they have peace of mind and  good mental being. Almost daily Damocles dagger is hanging over their head.''

Note: In local slang - Tamil, "Mottai Poduthal" / Tonsuring is an euphemism for cheating - making a man  lose everything, including his undergarments!).
