Many thanks Satish ji for the possible ID. All seems to fit, except the size of flower; it was I remember to be real tiny, just as much as 2 -3 mm, for benefit of doubt, could be 3 - 4 mm. It was found more of procumbent.
But will not stress on this observation; these may differ with habitat. Let us wait for comment(s). Regards.
