Hi Harish,

One more hack you can do is by following the thread : http://askubuntu.com/questions/37753/how-can-i-get-apt-to-use-a-mirror-close-to-me-or-choose-a-faster-mirror. So what I want to convey you is try changing the mirror. And lets see how that will help you. Note: Please take a backup of your orignal sources.list file. Try this only if you are *not* having trouble with downloading the gz files mentioned by Shantanu.

did you try apt-get update few more times? If yes, It could be that files above a size are blocked? Try downloading them manually and see if you get an error or something, the URLs which failed for you are-

http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/saucy/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz
http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz

The problem is here-

Which basically means something went wrong when downloading these files. Try sudo apt-get update few more times till this is fixed. If it still doesnt go away, try a different network connection. Failure to download these is causing the problems installing the packages.

It could be because our college's internet service has a lot of restrictions . It does have a lot of sites blocked. But I don't know if packages would have been blocked . I always get such errors and we usually neglect them .
Looks like I'll have to look for another network connection . This is getting really tedious now  :P
