HSC was the place for exchange of ideas and peer learning. It was extremely competitive yet the social connectivity was fabulous. The then Director, late Usman Adhami Sb. was not only one of the finest gentlemen, he was also an encyclopedia on the strength and weaknesses of the trainees. So, his guidance was always very focused. He never failed to convey the same. The spacious rooms, the well stocked library, the environment of hard working students, the dreams of success so visible and the constant struggle of hope and fear was unmistakable. The celebrations of success were always moderated by the inability of a dear colleague not qualifying. All in all, we were living in a wonderfully struggling environment. It has shaped us, in a large measure into what we have become.
