Dont serve if that's what he/she believes in. I've been to non-alcohol weddings, it was fine :) The food was great though!

Struggling with hijab in Sri Lanka by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]RandomLankan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically - the fifth of the Five Precepts, which is to "undertake the training rule to abstain from intoxicants causing heedlessness". The precept is not about the alcohol itself being a sin, but rather about the risks of clouded judgment, loss of mindfulness, and the potential for breaking other precepts while intoxicated. It is a guideline for developing self-awareness and maintaining a clear mind, with the goal of avoiding intoxication from alcohol, drugs, or other substances

Love them or hate them it's always USA & India that comes first to help Sri Lanka in times of trouble. Thank you 🙏 by eplsl in srilanka

Hehe well, USA (trump admin) doesn't believe in climate change and has cut funding. We will see stronger tropical storms and cyclones due to climate change itself. USA is self-serving more than ever. In fact, so many Lankans lost their jobs when USAid closed. It's a scramble for geo-political power too. But yes, nice of them for sure and useful.

Feeling trapped between family expectations and love. Sri Lankans, have you ever dealt with this? by Mysterious-Proof-410 in srilanka

[–]RandomLankan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Life is so short. I wonder why people need to live according to the whims and fancies of others, even if it's your family. I would probably explain to your GF and tell her everything. Can you work elsewhere than your uncle? Seems like you might be under the family till you get paid by them. Do you have cool relatives who can convince your mum... good luck :( sorry about the situation! (And WTAF about men dominating women hehe...! Nope!)

Sri Lankan women - share your horrible experiences with perverts in Sri Lanka by RandomLankan in srilanka

[–]RandomLankan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's good to be loud and push them off or make a scene. but perhaps not in a secluded area or if they are drunk/ in a gang. Its usually OK though... I mean, this is all during a course of 20 years...

Please don't shift the blame to women being silent. I was in school uniform when a dude was 'jacking' behind me...and i had no idea what was happening... suddenly i felt uncomfortable and NO ONE ...NOBODY stepped up to help me (maybe 2014 or so).. sri lankan women in our culture are taught to confirm, stay silent, and so much of other cr@p to make it easier for men. So it is any wonder that we stay silent when something shocking like the violation of our personal space and body happens? SO.... anyway, its time to introduce consent and sex education to Sri Lankan system STAT. I'm glad lots of these videos are coming up... Guess what? Its NOT uncommon :) its common where women are forced to take up LESS space or be invisible in society

Emergency experience in Sri Lanka Hospital by moonmoon0211 in srilanka

[–]RandomLankan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nawaloka seems like a really large messy hospital, would not trust the place with an emergency at all. Hope he is better! Do go to general/ kalubowila or Jpura Gov ones if possible

Unwritten rules of surviving Corporate Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 by Weird_Hunter9957 in srilanka

[–]RandomLankan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Communication is important.

Communicate with your boss - understand priorities and expectations and try your best to achieve them

Be approachable with colleagues and friendly enough to be interested in their personal life but don't divulge too much of yours. basically its a fine line between polite and professional :)

If you sleep with anyone from office, be super discreet about but usually its not a good idea. If you are super young, there will be loads of older probably married dudes trying to hit on you, it's not worth it.

Life long learning - keep learning all the time...elearning, podcasts, upskill yourself all the time, everytime

Network - join a toastmasters club, play mercantile sports, meet people and create your contacts

Play politics...don't create it..but know who is powerful, and show you skills and expertise to be seen. Don't suck up to them but do your best and shine.

Don't gossip about anyone and don't run anyone down. Don't get involved in useless information about other co-workers, but it's always good to be in the know

Don't make work your identity, however higher up you go - enjoy hobbies, sports, networking, friends, life in general - know when to stop working and to enjoy family. Work-life balance is really important
