Dear Karthik, Did you raise this question only to win the bet or purely for the love of the language ?

Dear Karthick On bets and bettings; this is what I have to say, "I don’t at all agree that such issues should be discussed here". Warm regards.

Dear Mr. Karthick_2011,
You are correct. "At" is a preposition used for stating where someone or something is in place, stating when something happens, purticular situation exists, state & situation, someone reacts to, continuation in doing something.
"At" is always used before as a preposition before the subject (noun) - this which is usually followed after a predicative. E.g: I will meet you at the gate.
- Used for stating what state or situation someone or something is in - My friend was at the hall and the tickets were sold. Baically, "I do not mind at all for his mistakes" should be the actual sentence conforming to the accepted rules of grammar.
P.S: Do not open mulitiple threads at all in different forums.
Hope you now got what it is about.

Thanks Kamal Kant for appreciating and pointing out the obvious !!!
Dear Kartick;
English is a complex language; and I have not mastered the language as yet.
Looking at your interest; I would suggest you need to focus on adverbs, which modify adjectives, verbs, and other adverbs; as well as prepositional adjectives.
Adverb answers 'how', 'when', or 'where'; and the adverbs that cause grammatical problems are those that answer the question 'how',
In the above examples the adverb answers "how" one is agree-ing or think-ing; it can be hard, hardly or not-at-all !!!
I hope the above helps in your quest for 'perfect' English.
Warm regards.
