61 years Mansoor Showghi Yezdi Uses Instagram to post slice of life nuggets

Dr Mansoor Showghi Yezdi, a 61-year-old café owner from Mahim, has been patronising a neighbourhood barber shop for over 20 years. But last month when he dropped by for a haircut, Yezdi decided to do something that he had mostly seen millennials do. He clicked a mirror selfie. After passing it through a filter on Instagram, he uploaded it with the caption: Jab sar jo tera chakraye. The picture fetched 25 likes and words of praise for both Yezdi and the barber. "I was impressed with the haircut, and a little vanity never hurt anybody," he laughs. Yezdi, who joined Instagram last year, has 375 followers and 890 posts. "The app just helps me feel young again," he says.
