I think I am almost there! Bumblebee service is not getting started,
its getting stopped.
Optirun is running for some apps like nvidia-settings.
But not for glxgears
Here is the output when I try to run optirun -vvv glxgears

Wonder why is this warning coming: Could not open configuration file:
/etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf
Also Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":8".
But nevertheless optirun is running finally. (Pheww)
Also lsmod | grep video shows nvidia in its output. Whereas previously
it wasn't.

Yes I started with this page itself. Thanks for your help anyways. I
just want someone to confirm that I have solved my problem!
