using Ctr+Alt+F1 i was able to get the prompt.

However, the display service kept restarting in parallel, had to work in the 2 
mins time gap.

Ran following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-session
sudo gconf-schemas --register gnome-session.schemas

All commands ran successfully.

However, on rebooting, it keeps getting stuck on display.
