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
An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.
Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
