Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, a reluctant birthday boy, turns 80 on Wednesday but will spend the day working as he has done in the past, officials said. A workaholic, the prime minister has shied away from celebrations on his birthday but there have been occasions when he has cut a cake on board his special aircraft during foreign trips.

The prime minister is the president of CSIR, whose foundation day coincides with his birthday.
