 Well, that's the short conversation is just a part of intro on today’s topic “Doomsday-EndTime”. After some researches, it is understand that almost all the religion believes in doomsday. I thought Hinduism doesn't actually believe in earth last day and sort of that but there are. And, below I have compiled all the believe on the doomsday and how they convey the same message in their own religious believes.

The Maya (First to understand the theories about doomsday)

The Maya kept historical records such as civil events and their calendric and astronomical knowledge. They maintain a distinctive set of traditions and beliefs due to the combination of pre-Columbian and post-Conquest ideas and cultures. The Maya and their descendants still form sizable populations that include regions encompassing present day Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador and parts of Mexico. The Mayan calendar completes its current “Great Cycle” of the Long Count on the 13th baktun, on 13.0.0.0.0. Using the most common conversion to our modern calendar (the Gregorian calendar) the end of the “Great Cycle” corresponds to 11:11 Universal Time (UTC), December 21, 2012, hence the myriad of doomsday prophecies surrounding this date.

Hinduism

According to Kaala Jnaana written by the Hindu mystic, Veera Brahmam, Kali Yuga will last for 5000 years after Lord Krishna passes away, after which evil will spread throughout the world. Hindu legend states that at the end of kali yuga, Vishnu, the universal ruler will appear again under his form of the Kalki-avatara for doing away with the wicked and inaugurating a realm of righteousness and spirituality. This will be the Doomsday.

The signs of Doomsday are:

1. There will be a rain of fire. Following this a strange thing will happen. 20 feet tall humans will appear and claim to be Kalki. (this is in India).
2. A huge comet will be born in the south; several people will die due to this.
3. Mammary glands will be born to the males of Cow, Goat, etc. and people will get milk from them.

So, all the major religions of the world have their own signs of Doomsday. All the world’s great religions contain Messianic prophecies, which promise that God will one day send a Promised One whose teachings will unite all humanity. The Promised One is called by different names by different religions. Hindus look for the return of Krishna. Christians await the return of Christ. Muslims look for the appearance of Imam Mahdi as well as Christ. Buddhists await Buddha. The fascinating aspect of all these prophecies is that they all seem to be pointing towards the same event.

Here I got two different ideologies that you may come across.

Idea 1
As what Rajinikanth always says:
Kanna ,saagure kallam terinjirichina, vaalre kallam naragam agirum.. 
(If you are trying figure the future, you won’t enjoy the present)

Idea 2
42 days is still enough for you to seek forgiveness, instead of asking it from god, why don’t just got and ask in person. Spend some of realize those who have helped you in anyway. Trust me,even the world doesn't end , it will sure help to solve a lot of problems and makes things better.

P/s:I would like wish all my friends and family members and also the readers wishing everyone a very Happy Deepavali! May this Festival of Lights brighten your lives with Peace, Good Health, Happiness, Prosperity and lots of fun with family and friends!
