The tiny earth in the cosmic creations; possessing a liveable environment; has currently encountered the threats / challenges emanating from the COVID-19. We a bunch of organs woven in trillions of organisms; that are in a dynamic and regular relationships; maintain a constant body temperature under outside temperatures from – 50 to + 50 degree centigrade!!!. Thus human body configuration is capable to face the challenges as well; subject to having the requisite nutritional nourishments, adhering to the prudent medical interventions and regulating the lifestyle while the liveable environment is under stress. We all having born with “body – mind – intellect” that has traversed six to nine decades of our life journey; is making us get recognised as a “senior citizen” in the society. We all have attained the grey hair stature; by acquiring many skills and rendering the competent services in varied fields over three to five decades that is unique to each one of us.
