Raasta Mastaan is ready to drop “Bharosa” his second single with Most wanted records!

Raasta Mastaan, winner of MTV Hustle’s ‘The Hustle Cypher Event’ is all set to launch ‘Bharosa’, a track on trustworthiness.
The term ‘Bharosa’ means ‘Trust’ and through the track, Raasta Mastaan brings out that one should not blindly trust anyone. The lyrics warn that one should never be to dependent on anyone at any point in life and to keep away from building false expectations that could lead to disappointment.

 Subtly using words like ‘Jab Zindagi ka Bharosa Nahi hai toh Insaan pe Kaise Hoga’, Mastaan gives out small instances where one could break down or be hurt emotionally by plainly trusting the wrong people.

 While the lyrics hit the heart directly, the visuals are short amidst crowded spots of Mumbai making us realise this issue is faced by almost everyone. Coming from the chawl’s of Chembur, Raasta Mastaan never gave up on his love for music and this is reflected in ‘Bharosa’ where he showcases true ‘Mumbaiya’ language with a very local feel.

‘Bharosa’ is being released by Most Wanted Records, a division of Sippy Media LLP.

QUOTE

 Executive VP, Shantanu Pujari  

“Raasta Mastaan is a talented, upcoming artist from the hoods of Chembur and he is one the first artists to represent Chembur. He brings an extraordinary rap element to the table in his music. Through ‘Bharosa’, we are sure to capture the minds of audiences and subtly touch on the feelings each one of us goes through when our trust is broken. We have always endeavoured to give our audience something new and this time we intend to showcase a version of rap that’s very raw and grounded”

Raasta Mastaan 

 “The track, ‘Bharosa’ highlights the aspect of Trust. It explains that one should not trust anyone and never depend on anyone, other than one’s self. It also goes on to alert us on not having expectations that could lead to disappointment. The lyrics touch sentimental chords and highlight that when one cannot trust Life, how can one trust another human”

In order to honour the handloom weavers in the country and also highlight India’s handloom industry Designer Gautam Gupta of the label ASHA GAUTAM has come up with a campaign “Special Ode to Handloom” where in a series of activities will taake place, starting from an exhibition today and will finally be culminated on the National Handloom Day on 7th August 2020 at his store in Defence Colony.

Designer Gautam Gupta said “In our journey of 22 years we have worked mostly on handloom fabrics, we have expanded our portfolio by working with more clusters and weavers. We always believed in our crafts and the incredible talent our weavers possess. Handloom day is a very important day for us in the country as it gives tribute to 3.5 millions of people working in our country, second highest after agriculture.

The designs made in handlooms are still unparalleled and even with the latest technology there are vintage techniques which weavers use in handlooms that power looms or machine-based mills can’t even think of. This is our pride and luxury as well for the world. The handloom industry not only is relevant in terms of designs but also to the world environment and with the consciousness on buying judiciously. I personally feel that what has happened in the past three months will make consumers more aware of the relevance of preserving crafts and especially our handloom industry.’’ Adds Gautam Gupta

Breastfeeding 101 For New Mothers During Pandemic

Myths Unraveled

By Dr. Arockia Virgin Fernando, who consults on Practo.

The outbreak of Coronavirus pandemic and subsequent lockdown has been tough particularly for expecting and new mothers. One of the major concern areas for them has been breastfeeding their little ones in the current circumstances. Practo witnessed a 250% rise in Indians consulting online for gynaecology since March and one of the most discussed topics was breastfeeding.

Debunking myths around breastfeeding and possible infection, Infertility specialist, gynaecologist, and obstetrician Dr. Arockia Virgin Fernando, who consults on Practo, said “The COVID virus does not spread during the time of delivery; that is there is no vertical transmission like the HIV virus; the only possibility it might infect a child is through air post birth from the mother or the health care staff.  Even if a mother is on her treatment for COVID-19, she can feed the baby following certain precautions.”  

“As soon as the child is delivered, it is essential that the baby gets a few drops of the milk after wrapping the baby well and the mother wearing the protective equipment; only then the baby  is separated from the mother. The child needs the breast milk for building the immunity and nutrition value for the first 3 days as the first milk called colostrum is in it.Therefore, it is recommended that mothers wear protective kits and feed the child for 10 minutes each  feed on demand of the baby. This can be avoided if the mother is in a critical condition,” she added. 

Precautions

The theme of World Breast-feeding Week this year is to support breastfeeding for a healthier planet and taking precautionary measures in light of the global pandemic. Here are some breastfeeding do’s and don’ts for mothers to follow by Dr. Arockia.

Do’s

  • Wash your hands before and after touching your baby

  • Wear a mask while nursing

  • Wash your hands before touching your breast pump or bottle parts. Clean and sterilize all parts after each use

  • Feed the baby for 10 minutes from both breasts and immediately give the baby to the attender 

  • Feed from both the breasts equally

  • A feeding chair for back support and pillow to avoid strain on hands

  • Cradle, football or reclining position -anything is fine according to comfort.

  • 6 feet distance between mother and baby, that is different rooms.

  • The partner and family member should take precautions and do babysitting.

Don’ts

  • Overexpose yourself to the baby if you are positive or with mild symptoms. 

  • Compromise with personal hygiene  

Recommended Diet

A mother’s milk acts as the first immunization, providing holistic nutrition and immunity against infections to the new-born. Here are some dietary recommendations for new mothers from Dr. Arockia.

  • Make sure to intake a lot of fresh leafy vegetables like spinach and maintain a high protein diet. Include pulses, chickpeas, sprouts, oats,fennel,bottle gourd, drumstick leaves in diet.These increase breast milk.

  • Maintain fluid content in the body in the form of freshly prepared juices,soups and snacks like bread or rusk before feeding.

  • Consume vitamin C and antioxidant rich food 

  • Ask your doctor to prescribe a Zinc tablet (if not already done) for increased immunity 

  • Avoid spicy food as it causes acidity and can affect the baby. Also, avoid having too much Mango as it also leads to acidity 

Support & Counselling

Considering the current circumstances some pregnant women or new mothers may suffer depression or anxiety, especially when a mother tests positive or suffers mild symptoms. Therefore, partner’s and family’s support in daily chores is a must to keep everyday worries at bay for the new mother.

“New mothers should definitely be given at least one counselling session regarding breastfeeding before they get discharged from the hospital. Thereafter, these sessions can continue online every week so that the new mother is more confident and clear about breastfeeding. Sometimes partners’ support is required to help fit the baby in the right feeding position,” she said. 

While tackling Covid-19 is the top priority of the healthcare system, community support, partner’s intervention and the right diet can help new mothers fight anxiety especially during these difficult times.
