How Suhai foiled a terriorist attack
Suhai ensured the terrorists, armed with nine hand-grenades, assault rifles, magazines and explosives, did not reach the diplomatic staff inside the consulate building. Police said the terrorists were carrying food supplies and medicines, suggesting they had planned to take hostages.
But as as soon as they reached the gates of the consulate, the police team took positions and retaliated. Two police officials were killed in the gunfight in which all the attackers were also neutralised.

The struggle
Suhai said her family wanted her to become a chartered accountant but she found the job to be very dull as it had no social value. That is when she appeared for CSS and cleared it in the first attempt.

Suhai's father and her mentor
Her father Aziz Talpur, a political activist and writer, always dreamt big for his daughter.
"My relatives cut off ties with me because I wanted Suhai to study as they were only in favour of religious education," Aziz told the daily. "But I vowed to provide my daughter quality education."

The secret to success
She credited her success to hard work and her upbringing. "My parents are nationalists. As a child, they used to emphasise that I memorise Sindhi poetry. This developed my interest in literature and history, leading me to secure top marks in both the subjects in the CSS (Central Superior Services) exams."
