We can think of precisely two ways to remember Daniel Fernandes when memory becomes a luxury with age. The first is when we bumped into him at Dabolim Airport in 2016 while travelling with a friend who happened to be a huge fan. We then put up a disastrous tweet saying, "My friend almost sold her soul to the devil at the airport to crash into @absolutelydanny." And immediately after, he acknowledged our choice of words on Twitter — which felt like a consolation prize for a 19-year-old.

The second instance is when Fernandes, a comedian, announced that he will be performing for six hours straight. It's longer than a marathon run, which averages between three to four hours (coincidentally, one of the world's biggest running events, the London Marathon, is scheduled to take place the same day as Fernandes' gig). And as he begins to convince us by saying, "Ya, it's quite an effort... I've been training really hard at the gym," there's more to it than just an individual walking up on stage and talking for hours.
