The asteroid news spread quickly. People in Pakistan and nearby countries started deporting people from the area. Many people all around the globe rushed into supermarkets to gather food and other supplies and started building shelters with the hope to survive. But most people did not take the scientist's warning nor any other commentary seriously and decided to watch the asteroid from the TV because they believed it was going to be just a local disaster far from their homelands.
All aside, there was a marginal group of about a thousand people who decided to welcome the asteroid in The Indus Valley where it was estimated to hit. Even though these people were from different places of the world, they had one thing in common; they were in a last minute search for the meaning of life. They started communicating under the #LastMinuteSearch hashtag.
"We set forth on a journey for a #LastMinuteSearch for the meaning of life"
"#MohenjoDaro is a great ancient city in the #IndusValley for a #LastMinuteSearch because it was the bedrock of human civilization"
"#LastMinuteSearch Let's meet at the #MohenjoDaro ruins near #Larkana. The human civilization shall end where it started."
"Let's welcome #DragonOfMohenjoDaro in our #LastMinuteSearch for the meaning of life. We still have 7 days to go."
These people named the asteroid as Dragon of Mohenjo-Daro after an ancient city. They also chose this very city as the meeting place because they thought they could find something important from ancient humans.
