A couple of years ago my family and I had gone to this beautiful city called Dal Housie. This place is known for its views and sceneries which leave everyone fall in love with it. As this place is a hill station and the climb to this place is very beautiful and scary at the same time. Middle of the climb, close to 200 metres away we see rocks falling from the top. Not just the small ones but huge blocks of it and it was horrifying to just imagine anything worse. There was no going front nor going back. Amidst of no help, no network there was no sign of help but just a huge block of rock in the middle of the road being a barrier between two ends. As time passed there were numerous cars and not a single having an idea of doing something. At this moment, the people were scared and worried because there could be a possible fall like this again. So this led to panic as everyone wanted to get out. And this is where entered a person with huge courage. No idea who he was, no idea what he even looked like cause he had a cloth covered on his face, he walked towards the rock and started pushing it off the cliff. It looked stupid once and everyone just told him to back off but this was the only thing making sense and that's when my uncle, my dad and a few more friends went and showed the same spirit of pushing it off the cliff. After a while, there were close to 30 men just pushing the rock and doing all the permutations and combinations to get it off. It sounds thrilling but trust me it wasn't. One wrong step, one wrong move and baam, there you go off the cliff. It probably took solid 1 hour for them to just push it further enough for one car to pass by at a time and then everyone moved. So this is where the unity came in and there amidst of nowhere all of us saw a hero who actually took an initiative to make things better for everyone because if not there could've been worse things, could've been stuck there for a way longer time. What an experience it was as it wasn't just any other normal incident you get to see every day. Something which was thrilling and at the same time could probably take it all away from you.
