Ya! you are very correct. I was trying the same...
I conclude that as of now it is not possible to modify alias to also pass
command line parameters. So I have to choose some other way to invoke the
application with parameters.

Thanks to everyone, but isn't it would be great if alias can also keep the
parameters to invoke the application with. That would allow application to
be run directly in some specific mode based on which alias is triggered.
Alias would be small in size and it will not be like other application which
will wait for the child application to quit. Anyway that was my perspective.

Thanks again
