Akshay,
I don't mean to sound rude, but as was pointed in another email earlier,
have you tried tapping the menu icon (meaning the menu section, next to your
Visor's Graffiti writing pad, right under the Applications icon)? You need
to tap this before any menus will appear. The menus are there, it's just
that they don't appear automagically.
Hope this helps.
