Even though the actual hibernation(meaning, dumping the memory content into the Swap partition of my disk) happens fine, my machine suddenly restarts within 3 seconds after a complete halt. I have been going crazy to even figure out the sentence to help google find what I am looking for from the net.
Finally, at 9:45pm with half sleepy eyes, I managed to find some help after going thru lines and lines of posts from various forums...that I had to add a file to my /etc/pm/conf.d and add the following line to the file
HIBERNATE_MODE=shutdown
the hibernation happens properly and my machine goes to sleep happily thereafter :)
Thanks to this post
PS: Folks, also please ensure that you specify where your hibernate file is present to Grub to ensure it wakes up instead of booting afresh. You have to add resume=/dev/sda5(swap partition). But I also noticed recently in my dad's netbook, without this resume option, GRUB properly wakes up from Hibernation. God knows how!...Something to research on sometime later....Will post my findings if any :)
