Thanks AVee. I will try to get an external battery charger or a spare battery or borrow a nokia battery. I found other thread which suggests some tricks as well (subj:"External battery charger"). But the trick of holding AUX and inserting USB charger doesn't work for me. That's probably because what the wiki says ( http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner_Battery): "Another complication is that some Freerunners are capable of starting up without a battery while others are not (possibly due to different capacitor values on the internal power rails)." I will check with alternate battery option in nearby electronic stores.
