Stanza 3: The third stanza reveals a difficulty in recognizing each other due to the long absence, clouding instant familiarity. After the initial meeting, family members adopt a cross-legged sitting position, symbolizing their reunion.


Stanza 4: Continuing with enjambment, they gather near the choultry (village hall), reminiscing about past experiences like cracking coconuts, sitting around bonfires, and enjoying rice and pickle in the afternoons. The speaker fondly remembers Sundari, a family member who used to clandestinely climb tamarind trees to gather fruit, which they would then share every morning.
