60-Year-Old labourer turns model
A 60-year-old labourer from Kerala, India, is making waves online with his swish makeover.
Mammikka, who belongs to Kerala’s Kozhikode district, traded his faded lungi and shirt for a suit and sunglasses while posing for a local brand. Pictures from the photo shoot, captured by photographer Shareek Vayalil, went viral online, with thousands of people complimenting the newly-minted model.
Mammikka owes his newfound fame to photographer Shareek Vayalil. According to reports, Shareek had taken a photo of Mammikka and posted it on his Facebook page earlier.
The photo went viral for the labourer’s resemblance to a local actor.
Soon afterwards, Shareek asked Mammikka to model for a wedding suit company he owned. Before the photo shoot, the 60-year-old underwent a makeover which was captured in a video that has been watched by thousands of people on Instagram.
The video has racked up over 23,000 views since being shared last week.
The photographer said that he could think of no one better to model for his company than Mammikka. Photos from the photo shoot prove he wasn’t wrong. The pics show Mammikka dressed in a classic blazer and trousers, with an iPad in hand.
While many Instagram users dropped fire emojis in the comments section to express their appreciation, others complimented the labourer-turned-model on taking on a new role with aplomb.
According to News18, Mammikka says he would now like to try modelling alongside his regular job as a daily wager. – ndtv.com

A brown bear wandered into a hotel in Tibet and forced its way into a locked room with two guests inside.
Security camera footage from the hotel in Nagqu shows the bear wander down a hallway inside the building on Saturday and force its way through a door into an occupied room.
The guests in the room said they stared at the bear for a few seconds before it left the room on its own.
The hotel owner used a flashlight and other tools to scare the bear and chase it out of the building.The door has since been repaired and the hotel said it is adding additional security measures to keep bears out.
