Being an adventure sport enthusiast brings along many challenges,
staying fit and energetic is one thing. But when you are an adventure sport
icon for many, things are quite another. Staying fit and in shape and constant
practise are the staple chores of an adventurer. Similar was the life of Priyam
Raghav and Neha Raghav a brother sister duo, travellers, photographers and
adventure enthusiasts to say the least. Priyam and Neha were twins and had
started trekking from the age of 7. Priyam was touted as one of the best rally
car drivers in the country and Neha had won many heart and niche of awards with
her chameleon like agility in rock climbing.
Now, looking to produce their own adventure show on a
leading TV channel, Priyam and Neha were taking a trip across the Himalayas on
terrains never dared upon. Lucky to be friends with the duo, when I met them at
a party recently, I was thrilled to indulge in a long conversation with them.
What’s the toughest part of being a hiker, I asked. Having to eat packaged food
was Priyam’s reply. ‘Hair’, pat came Neha’s. Apparently she was more concerned
about her hair problems than anything else. There are many places where we cannot
travel by a car. We usually take a bike. Priyam’s hell bent on it. And the dust
of the dirt-trails just kills my hair dead. I mean that was the biggest problem
till a few weeks back. But then, she said, that her make-up guys in the TV
channel introduced her to Dove Damage Therapy range of hair products. ‘Well, to
be honest, that was the end of all my hair problems’, she chuckles. She further
tells that as much as it is physically exhausting, trekking is also challenging
for the skin. With the body losing so much of fluids, it becomes imperative to
replenish them and given a chance she would love to endorse Dove for being a
life saver.
With my own TV show coming soon, looking good never hurts
and good hair is certainly the crown on the crest of a woman. To add to her
euphoria, I told her about the Dove hair-ware app that has been the talk of the
girl-gangs, as I’ve heard, for quite some time now. Priyam, meanwhile had been
silently gorging on some fresh chicken-tikkas,
a feast that he will definitely miss on his next trip. To say the least, I
did learn a thing or two about grooming my hair from Neha if not her skills at
rock climbing and I would recommend any of you adventure loving girls too to
shed your inhibitions about spoiling your skin or hair, and as Neha would put
it, there’s Dove to take your care.
