It was a driver missing problem with me. I had enabled the USB debugging, tried changing the USB cable, tried reinstalling the Google USB drivers, but nothing came to my rescue.

To make sure whether you have a device driver problem, go to:

1. Computer->right click
2. Manage
3. Device Manager

If it shows in "Others", your problem should be resolved by downloading & extracting this and then following these steps:

1. Right click on your device after finding it in Device Manager as per the above mentioned three steps.
2. Say Update driver software.
3. Say Browse My computer for driver software
4. Pinpoint it to the location where you had downloaded the drivers from the above link.

As soon as you do this, a popup will show up on your device asking for permission to debug. Once you accept, you are ready!
