Celebrating Awurudu, the traditional Sri Lankan New Year, holds special significance at eMarketingEye. With origins rooted in Sri Lanka, the company deeply values cultural traditions and heritage. Therefore, at eMarketingEye, we never fail to celebrate our cultural events, embracing the rich Sri Lankan customs and festivities as an integral part of our organizational ethos.
At eMarketingEye, we embraced the spirit of Awurudu with a warm and heartfelt celebration. On the very first day back to the office after the Awurudu holidays, we kicked off the festivities with a sweetmeats breakfast table for all employees. It was a simple yet meaningful way to start the day and honor the traditions of our Sinhalese and Tamil colleagues.
The ‘EME Awurudu Uthsawaya’ stole the spotlight of the week, with everyone eagerly participating in Awurudu games and dressed in traditional attire. From traditional games to cultural activities, everyone had the opportunity to participate and enjoy themselves. From thrilling pillow fights to spirited races, each game ignited the competitive spirit and fostered camaraderie among colleagues. The highlight of the event unfolded as the best-dressed team was rewarded, and the exciting titles of EME ‘Awrudu Kumari’ and ‘Kumaraya’ were bestowed upon our very own colleagues. These events added an extra layer of excitement to an already memorable celebration. Following the games, employees indulged in a delectable array of Sri Lankan-style cuisine, complemented by plain tea—a homage to the culinary customs of the season.
As the festivities continued, a three-piece band serenaded all employees with tunes that resonated with our hearts. It was a moment of relaxation and joy as employees sang along and danced to the familiar beats, creating memories that would last a lifetime.
At eMarketingEye, celebrating Sinhala and Tamil New Year is more than just a tradition—it’s a reflection of our commitment to fostering a sense of community and togetherness among our team. As we come together to honor our cultural heritage and embrace the spirit of the season, we strengthen bonds and create moments of joy that unite us all. Cheers to the adventures that lie ahead in the coming year!
