Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on September 22, 1950)

Happy Birthday to the evergreen leader, Pawan Kumar Chamling! You've been Chief Minister since 1994—longer than most smartphones have existed. Clearly, your political career has better battery life than any gadget we've seen!

From founding the Sikkim Democratic Front and steering it successfully through decades of change, you've shown that age is just a number—but votes are what really count. Your dedication transformed Sikkim into India's first fully organic state; clearly, you're not only good at politics but also gardening.

Here's wishing you another year filled with success—and perhaps fewer meetings and more cake breaks! Happy birthday!
