    I learnt the lesson the hard way.

    I was playing around with another database , and somehow since the db name was pretty similar i played around with the one i shouldnt , and ... messed it up :( , from now on , if i am in phpadmin doing anything with any db , i will before backup all the databases there, also do a periodical database backup (thinking of doing it once in a couple of days atleast)

    There is simply no two ways about it people , BACK YOUR DATABASE TODAY & name your databases very much differently :p

    Not only one should backup the data, but should also keep on optimizing the database from time to time. This would ensure lesser database crashes.
