S to live life to the fullest

ng transportation. Usually, when rehearsals for events ome around, it is better to drive which he does whenver he has upcoming shows. Another challenge is the measly money models are paid and with the Guyanese opulation not so keen on anything local it makes it ard for models to easily enjoy the dreams they purue.

But disadvantages aside, the job has it perks, he said, making him a better individual when it comes to being more confident with meeting and people, and with a chuckle, he added that receiving designer clothes is another great bonus.

Hanging out with other models, he shared, is fun. He mentioned that his biggest supporters are models and indicated that maybe this is so because they share the same passion and understand all that comes with it. He said he always walks with chips though he knows that they would not last long enough to ease any hunger, but that does not matter, what does is being with people like himself who enjoy what they do and are motivated by each other.

Mukesh draws inspiration from life itself. He does not want to be the next anything, whatever he evolves into as a model, he must be referred to as the “only” one. He tries to steer clear of following trends and instead tries to be the trendsetter. There is nothing more important to him when it comes to being a model than being original.

Within the last two years, Mukesh has participated in ten shows for 15 designers. In a decade’s time he hopes to be attached to an international line making a name for himself and taking Guyana’s name wherever he can.

Mukesh works sometimes three jobs – farming, vending and driving a taxi but lets none of this get in the way of living his dream. A week ago, he wrote the fire service exam and if things go as planned then very soon he will be a fireman.

He enjoys modelling, dirt bike riding, travelling, going to the movies and listening to music.

He is a foodie and loves stir-fry vegetables, just about any grilled food including grilled fish and potatoes and loves baked chicken.

Mukesh is on Facebook and Instagram as Mukesh Jagasar and ‘Live it to the fullest’.
