Thanks Mikkel, 
Well, thats what I thought I read somewhere but it is strange. It
might even be something I added. I source bash_aliases and
bash_functions file from bashrc. You can make a change to the
.bash_profile and it doesn't get added .. 

anyway, Joe's fix worked for me. Thanks guys, for replying.
