"DON'T dwell on the words." It was his mantra for writing. Basically move on. How does one not dwell on the words while reminiscing about a loss and life...and Bibek Debroy lived many lives in one life—just the bibliography of his writings and the books he authored would take up this page and more!

It set the stage for a treasured friendship, exchange of thoughts, information and oddities—for instance the role of Lord Linlithgow in cattle farming or Shakespeare's thoughts on money.
