His phone was continuously engaged; I tried several times and always got a reply, 'the number you have dialed is on another call.' He called me back as we had got to know each other for the last few months. He along with his friends have been moderating a group called 'Emergency in Pakistan', where they used to email hundreds of people to activate them against the unstable position in Pakistan. He has been playing a vital role in making people politically active through his emails and his blogs. A few days back he told me he was coming to Pakistan to attend the Long March. He plans to keep the lawyers movement alive till the judges are restored and Pakistan gets rid of dictatorship.

Samad Khurram was humble when told that he has become a celebrity and is being regarded as a National hero and that everyone is discussing Samad Khurram. After appreciating his attempt to get his protest registered; my first question to him was, "Was this a deliberate attempt you made in front of US Ambassador?" He told me he was about to boycott ceremony organized in honour of the Roots School alumni, but he added, "I would get nothing if I did not attend that ceremony. I thought I must attend and get my protest registered in a way that should be noticed all over the world." He said, "I had a grudge against the murders of our innocent people in Mohmand agency and the unprovoked American violation of Pakistani airspace, we can't be shameless anymore to bear these immoral acts against our countrymen, someone has to take the initiative."

Despite the fact that his career could be at stake due to his nationalistic gesture, even then he attended the occasion and rebuked the US Ambassador in full view of the media, and he knew the Ambassador's activities would be covered by the national and international media. He had the courage to refuse for his great satisfaction. As an individual he proved that he is the youth of Pakistan. While reading responses on blogs about Samad Khurram I concluded that everyone has adored him in Pakistan because this gesture was the voice of their hearts.

A Christian school teacher from Hafizabad Fabula Mariam has applauded his nationalistic gesture as, "What Pakistani government is afraid to do so far, Samad Khurram has done and snubbed the US Ambassador in the Pakistani capital for the cowardly US attack on our military on the border with Afghanistan."

The whole of Pakistan is surviving in an environment of conspiracy theories and can not deny the fact that we have started interpreting heroic deeds as self interests; we evaluate events negatively; measure the integrity of our politicians and appreciate or deprecate in accordance with the messages received through the media --- eventually we prove to be wrong. Because what we receive are filtered versions. A complete article is needed to address this issue. However I was curious about his integrity and loyalty towards Pakistan that he showed, so I asked him, "Did you expect this kind of response from the people of Pakistan and even the media about your action?" He replied, "Never." He expanded, "I want to first contend myself that I have protested against the malicious act of US. I am first accountable to myself, but now this has been highlighted by national and international media, I can focus on more making my position clear as a Pakistani youth who is hurt over the unbearable loss of innocent civilians and army men." He added, "We cannot see our people dying, for the sake of an unconstitutional President."

The whole hall was shocked to witness a Harvard student Samad Khurram's refusal to accept the award that could have added worth to his profile. Samad, a student of law at Harvard University, was in Islamabad to receive a shield of Achievement from Anne Patterson, the US Ambassador. This incident happened at a function held at the National Arts Gallery by a privately owned Pakistani school Roots. The school had invited 188 of its alumni students who had received scholarships to study at various American colleges and universities. The parents of the students were present. "The American ambassador, responding to the protest of the student, said, "America has deep regrets on the incident. She said America is proud to have him (Samad Khurram) in USA for study," adding, "the only way to remove the misunderstanding is to exchange ideas and views."

My friend Sadaf Arshad who works for SAFMA said, "We are peace lovers, but still we cannot allow anyone to invade our country and he has shown his patriotism," though she was bit skeptical about the incident being among so many conspiracy theories.

A shopkeeper in Sialkot commented, "I aspire for the day when our corrupt political leaders, coming from a corrupt system, can have only an ounce of the moral value and strong character that Samad Khurram has shown. Pakistan can become the greatest country on the face of this earth."

A housewife, Mariam Shahzad from Lahore, said she would want her boys to behave like Samad.

A renowned columnist said, "We should take his step as a nationalistic one and appreciate him."

A student from Gift University said that we want to see a ripple. "What he has started we will keep alive till there is a productive change."

Samad told me that he is receiving calls around the globe and the international media is also interviewing him. He added that youth should be more courageous in order to culminate in a prosperous Pakistan.
