If there is anything that will not only wake up a drowsy driver, but near about give him a heart attack, is the flashing lights of a police squad car in the US. The wattage and luminance emitted puts Dhaka's lit up Golf Garden to shame. Representing the Stars and Stripes, the lights are a blinding red, white and blue. Add a high-powered spot light, the Knight Rider like red and blue lights flashing from the fenders like those from the vehicle of a Dhaka-ite VIP. And in the unlikely event of not noticing any of these, the belch like horn (the harbinger of a VIP in Bangladesh) sure will attract your attention.

I pull over on Interstate 80 East. The torture is slow, as the police officer is in no hurry to rush out of his vehicle to break the news to me as to what my offence is.

With a thousand antennas sticking out from all parts of his car making the formidable Ford Crown Victoria look like an oversized and ominous porcupine, I am sure, he already has data on where I used to have shingara in Plassey during my BUET days.

As I watch the cliff hanger through my rear-view mirror, with stereophonic effects added through both my side view mirrors ("Objects are much scarier than they already appear to be"), the officer slowly and dramatically, gets out of his car and walks towards the side of my door. The approaching gargantuan silhouette in front flood and disco lights is a scene not too dissimilar to that of Clint Eastwood in The Good (him), the Bad (me) and the Ugly (my fate)…

The Motorola walkie-talkie strapped to him is going nuts with radio chatter. He has one hand on his standard issue gun in its holster. Protocol states that I remain in my driver's seat. Any unusual movement on my part and the gun will be out at High Noon speed.

He leans over on my door. "Sir, have you been drinking?"
