The news going around in Pakistani circles is the fact that one of our own is the one of the Convening Lead Authors in the team that shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore. [And of course, the team is chaired by another South Asian; Rajendra Pachauri.]

In the idiom of South Asian sport, Well Played, Adil Bhai; Bahoth Aala, Adil Bhai!
PS: From a comment Dr. Najam posted on Pakistaniat.com:
Thank you to all for their kind wishes and congrats. I should add, however, that the Nobel was awarded to the work of the IPCC (a panel of eminent global climate change experts), so I am just one of the many experts on that Panel. I have served on the IPCC for some 8 years, the last many as a Convening Lead Author. So, yes, it does feel terrific to have one’s work and research celebrated by the Nobel Committee, but it really is an honor shared by many (including by Dr. Tariq Banuri who played a leading role in the IPCC’s evolution in the past).

A hearty congrats to Adil bhai on this achievement - we here in Pakistan need to acknowledge his efforts in a proper way and not let this slide by.
I personally feel he should be nominated for some Presidents medal for his effort and contribution to the noble peace prize.
