Tonsured Heads For A Song

A MP being banned on flights caused a raucous Parliament last fortnight. This week the raucous is about the accomplished and popular singer - Sonu Nigam.
His comments on the social media stirred up a huge debate on use of loud-speakers in residential areas. And amidst the chaos, the singer went ahead and got his head tonsured as a symbol of standing-up to his critics. 
Tonsure is our Word-0f-the-Week. Tonsure is the act of shaving of the head or the act of being shaven where a part or the complete head is left bare.

The Raucous House

Last fortnight saw a few raucous sessions in the Indian Parliament with members raising the issue of Air India having put one MP on the 'no-fly' list. This was followed by other airlines following suit. 

Our Word of the Week is 'raucous'.
Raucous means disorderly or rowdy.
