New Delhi: It was normal day for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as he turned 80 on Wednesday going about his work like any other day. Singh, who is known for keeping his birthday a low key affair, started his day by attending the 70th foundation day of Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) here.

Singh, who was born in Gah in Punjab now in Pakistan, says he does not know his actual date of birth but September 26 was given as his birthday by his parents while getting him admitted in a school. At the CSIR function, he remarked that he shared his birthday with CSIR. “We were both born on 26th September. I can think of no better company than this illustrious gathering of men and women of science, with whom to have my first public engagement on this very special day,” he said. (PTI)
