I think I just gave him enough merits to put him over the edge into Hero territory--but those posts you quoted had already been merited sufficiently IMO.  Pawanjain had plenty of other posts in his history that hadn't been merited, though I had to go back pretty far to find some.  Remember, this thread is for "unmerited good posts" which obviously means you should report posts that haven't received any merits. 

But regardless, thanks for calling my attention to a member who was really close to Hero.  I'm always happy to help someone rank up if they deserve it, and pawanjain definitely does.
