Last night in Trieste with Ciro

This was our last night in Trieste, Italy when Ciro played the piano. I went into the lab again and again to get prints of notes from Internet so that Ciro could play a Hindi song on Piano. After that we had a prize distribution ceremony where Ciro was the guest of honour who would hand over the prizes. The prizes were for the best card player for the year during the one month stay at ICTP. The Sri Lankan guy Dushyant was the best player.The Pakistani and me were chosen the best new comers because we learnt playing cards in ICTP. We hardly slept that night. Ciro is a computer sciences researcher from Peru.
