India, Sept. 15 -- Every time I get into my car and see the dusty mats, I tell myself the same thing: "I'll clean it properly this Sunday." And somehow, Sunday comes and goes.

The funny part is, my car does get cleaned every week. But while the outside gets its regular wash, the interiors slowly become a collection of dust, crumbs, hair and random bits of dirt that I keep ignoring. I would notice them, get mildly annoyed, and then forget about them again.

Until I bought a car vacuum cleaner. It wasn't some big decision. I just wanted something I could keep handy and use for 10-15 minutes whenever the car started looking messy inside. I eventually made Sunday my vacuum-the-car day, and it has surprisingly become one of those small things...
