i did not have any other book apart from OG 13

I am quite dazed :shock: everytime I hear OG13 from you. Are you sure its OG13? I thought OG is available upto 12th Edition in the market. I have to go hit shops to grab OG13 if its avaialble.

DS
AND quant

DS and Quant:
As you are already preparing for CAT, you might be well aware of Arun sharma CAT Quant books. If you already finished Arun sharma books, Gmat quant would be a cakewalk to you.
As you are used to CAT quant questions, OG quant will neither interest nor trouble you.
I assume you already have strong Math basics as you are a BITS pilani guy
If you want more practise, Go for Quant 700-800 pdf. It has about 900 problems in it. It covers wide range of questions. I solved it completely. I liked it.

CR---> Powerscore CR bible: It helps us to understand wide range of CR questions. Importantly, it discusses the frequent wrong answers in CR questions. Spoting wrongs answers make our life easy to pick the right one.
SC: Buy MGMAT SC 4th Edition in the market. For me, this book is SC bible. You will get 6 MGmat online tests free with the purchase of the book. Those tests are really good next to Gmatprep. Some may refer Aristotle SC too. This book may be good for the beginners to understand basic parts of speech etc.
RC: I am not sure of any good book being available for RC in the market.
Everyone has his/her own approach for RC. Princeton's RC approach looked fine to me.
It says: Read the passage in 2-3 mins by asking question SO WHAT?
Pay close attention to structure of the passage. See how each paragraph is connected to the other.
Always follow the author. What author thinks about the issue is important to us eventually.
Go back to the RC passage and refer lines in case of specific detail questions.
As you practise more and more passage, you will start to develop your own approach for dealing with RC.
It is important for you to see which principle works for you best

I have a few materials lying with me. I can mail you if you need. Let me know.
Good luck.

Read books by Stenbeck or Hemmingway. Then read Mark Twain because he plays with the language in a way that lends contrast to proper English usage. I know that these are all books that American kids read in High School, but that's why we read them, and that's what the GMAT is testing. Also, they are great authors.

I went to Achievers point, these people are very well organised you just need to inform beforehand of your requirements and they make sure you do not face any kind of problems, they also let students to rate every class which is a unique feature in itself, I could score 770 in GMAT thanks to them....
