Thanks buddy! It solved! Thanks to all who participated. I thanked Russell Bhai over phone just now.
The problem was as the sutdown button was depressed, it caused some damages to the filesystem. And it failed with X Server at first. Was failing fscheck inside linux also. Then I tried with the BIOS's memcheck and HDD integrity check. Then the recovery worked (before recovery was failing with fatal errors). After this I was being able to see the login screen. That means the /tmp was not writable, so it couldn't bring up the desktop. et voila!
