thx but I have tried that and everything else(including smashing it on the wall)
I'll try the number though1, thanks
Just talked to apple care.
They were most helpful!

Gave me a case number, so I'll get a replacement cable or ipod when I go to a specified service center(in yusuf sarai)
EDIT:
Just came back from 'anything mac' at yusuf sarai, delhi.
Again the staff was very helpful, and I should get a replacement for an ipod in 2-15 days
Thanks slugger for your help.
