Haseena Parkar features in one of the episodes of Miss Conduct
What shakes us the most when women commit heinous crimes? That women are widely cast as nurturers not only shocks our openness for any criminogenic need in them, but also prompts us to conjure explanations on their behalf. Two women are ‘probing’ this complex in a podcast called Miss Conduct, which recently wrapped up its 26th episode.
As we scroll through their fairly long list of episodes, a few topics excite us more. We turn to the queen of Porbandar underworld Santokben Jadeja; Seema Parihar’s Bandit to Bigg Boss journey; Haseena Parkar’s handling of ‘certain business operations’; and Cyanide Mallika, the country’s first convicted woman serial killer. Co-hosts Ragavi Ramesh and Nisha Chandrasekaran warm us into the show with a fun jingle. We aren’t sure if it’s their voice or professional skillset — Ramesh is a lawyer and Chandrasekaran, a PR professional, who knows how media affects popular judgment — that nudges us to take notes. While elaborate criminal acts tickle our curiosity, we’re aware of our growing trust in the speakers. It’s like listening to a trusted aunt or uncle (say, Tridib from Shadow Lines).
