Coimbatore: Suba Sri, who is expecting a baby in the next 10-15 days, was caught off guard when her women colleagues threw a baby shower for her at the office on Monday. Only four days ago, Suba Sri joined as junior assistant at the Sarkarsamakulam block development office.
As she is in the third trimester of her pregnancy, Suba Sri will go on maternity leave from Tuesday. Fifteen women employees at the office organized the baby shower for her by conducting rituals and presenting gifts.
Assistant collector Saranya Ramachandran, who visited the officer as part of her training, took photos of the baby shower function and posted them on social media. The photos went viral with more than 1,500 likes and 130 retweets as on Tuesday evening. Block development officer Dhanalakshmi said that it was Suba Sri’s first pregnancy and it is a crucial part of every woman’s life. “We conducted the event to bless her by putting her bangles and kumkum. We also purchased her fruits and sweets,” she said.
