The story of the progress and evolution of human has been an unending episode. From being the hunter-gatherer in the pre-historic times to the modern techno-savvy man, this journey has been remarkably significant. Human beings have travelled a long way to mark themselves as the most prominent species on this earth. This entire process of human advancement has been documented since ancient times and can be well understood by going through the pages of literary texts. The literary treasures hold in themselves the mesmerizing accounts of the development of human civilization and culture. They help us to walk back in time and develop better understanding and appreciation of the past. It is enthralling to witness how the great civilizations like that of the Harappa and the Mesopotamia flourished but got eroded due to natural calamities and disasters. With the changes in the human society, literature too has evolved. It is very true to say that literature acts as the mirror to the society. The novels, poems and literary texts belonging to a particular period gives one a clear picture of the culture, society, norms and beliefs of that period. The authors, poets and literature experts pour their heart out to artistically portray the customs, culture, rituals and society of the era to which they belong. We also find the glimpses of the societies through the literature of a particular period. A society is not only about the individuals living together, instead it is an amalgamation of the material objects, culture, beliefs, traditions as well as the resources available. Innumerable human societies have been formed and wiped out on this earth since time immemorial. Natural factors like floods, droughts, pandemic and other natural calamities had played a major role in the extinction and loss of many such human settings and dynasties. In the present world of growing globalization and mass media, the world wars and other disasters have made the human life vulnerable. Literature today mostly focusses on the individualities of human beings. This current covid pandemic has created a vacuum in the lives of people. It feels as if people have forgotten the eagerness and jest to strike conversations and communicate with one another. Literature too has suffered from an immense lack of motivation and creativity. It has developed a situation of creative blockage in the present era. It seems as if the past few years of covid crisis and lockdown has shunted our personalities and made us morose and dull. It has put forward a haunting shadow like that of a vampire over the entire humanity. It appears as though the covid vampire algae is going to endanger the human race sucking its blood and peace.
