I knew I have to give it again for sure, came back from delhi, took other date in october, n started wid the studies again.
This time I did new passages, new CRs and worked on SC more. In all, devoted most of the time to verbal part. In addition to that, I bought MGMAT tests (as the various threads here have claimed them to be the closest replica).
In addition, I did last 50 qns of each part of OG 11, did Kaplan 800 very religiously.

October: Actual Score in GMAT:(:(:(
650 (50/28 )
Please note that i got quite tough verbal questions. Even got one bold-faced CR at 19.
Could anybody explain what could have happened?
or is it that gmat has been made tougher in India, thats y there is so much variation in mock and actual scores?
