The year was 1996. Mumbai was still a little bit of Bombay, accepting us migrant cousins with open arms. Chintan Upadhyay and I were among the many, who had come to the city to make her our home. Mumbai was beautiful and affectionate, inspiring and challenging. The taller-than-tall apartments wowed us, the shimmering lights of Crossroads mall and the display windows of Rupam and VAMA showrooms excited us. We were romancing with the local trains and rented homes in decrepit lower middle-class societies, savouring our starvation in late night roadside bhurji-pav meals amidst the golden-brown haze of the sleeping city, revisiting our tangential dreams. And we knew we were growing up in an environment that we would romanticise about some day.

Maharashtra: Artist Chintan gets life sentence for murder of estranged wife
Artist Chintan Upadhyay and three others have been handed life imprisonment in the double murder case of 2015 in which his wife, artist Hema Upadhyay, and her lawyer were found dead.Upadhyay and the other convicts, who were present in the court, showed no emotions when the verdict was read out by Judge SY Bhosale at the Dindoshi Sessions Court. Lawyer Bharat Manghani requested that Chintan's family be given some time to meet him before he was taken to prison. Chintan's brothers and artists such as Sanjiv Khandekar and Vaishali Narvekar were present in court to meet him.
Special public prosecutor Vaibhav Bagade had sought that Chintan and the three others — Vijay Rajbhar, Pradeep Rajbhar and Shivkumar Rajbhar — be given the maximum punishment of death, claiming that the murders of Hema and her lawyer Harish Bhambhani were “cold blooded and calculated”.
Hema Upadhyay, an installation artist, and her lawyer Bhambhani were allegedly smothered to death on December 12, 2015 and their bodies were packed in cardboard boxes and dumped in a drain in the Kandivali area of suburban Mumbai. The murders came to light after the two bodies were spotted by a garbage collector.
