Thanks a lot bro.Hey amey,
Thanks!
I'm still in office, so can't post the pics of the packing just yet. (will do it later once I get home)
So to answer your questions:
1. The packing was neat and clean. It was properly packed in plastic wrapping and the like. After they billed me for it, he opened the package in front of me and took out the laptop. Overall, well done effort there.
2. As such, they only give the lenovo backpack as the accessory. However, I had to negotiate with him (a bit) to give me more. Very quickly, he just handed me an external DVD r/rw drive in my hand. When I probed him further for anything else, he was like we can't give you anything else. I was ok with it.
3. As far as the screen goes, after reading on this thread, someone mentioned how to check it. And whether it was the Chi Mei or the AUO. I'm also glad to say that it is the AUO screen (which again from this thread I read, is better). Again, I haven't properly seen it since its still packed up and lying in my car downstairs ! Will check it properly when I get home.
(P.S. however, he did turn on the laptop in the store after I was billed and did the first time boot up, which naturally took "some" time. Hopefully now when I turn it on when I get home, it should be faster)
Additionally, when I asked him about the warranty, he gladly agreed to give it to me asap.
Now I made sure to go through the "process" of registering online for the warranty, RIGHT THERE AND THERE in front of them. In fact, I MADE them log on the site and guide me through the process. I had to take a picture of the Label on the Box and the Bill/Invoice copy and upload it on the website. All this was done in front of them.
(I just wanted to make sure that everything was legit and that they would not cause any issues in the future) (yes, you can call me a bit paranoid about it!!)
Please let me know if you guys need any more info. I will gladly fill you in on the details.
I will try and post pictures when I get home.

Hey Eruku,
The store in Noida is the one in GIP (Great India Place) mall, Sector 18. Its on the second floor (kinda near the central escalators) next to all the other brands, ASUS, HP, etc.
The rate when I asked them, they told me 79K. I was like what ?!
Then I had to tell them that the ONLINE rate is Rs. 76,990.
So the final bill amount was Rs. 77,000.
And congrats again.
I called up the Exclusive Store today for inquiring.
They told me the following -
I would get it within a day if i book it.
3 yrs additional warranty + backpack.
The manager said that the Optical Disc Drive will be included in the packaging.
Plus he also said they would give Additional freebies like Mouse, Headphone, Keyboard Cover, Lan Cable, etc.
Am yet to confirm it.
Will most probably be buying it tomorrow evening.
I will update you guys on the progess.
Cheers.

Really appreciate it. I dont think the screen is that bad.
