Note: Considering the views this Question is getting I decided to post the the way I did choose as a solution. This is NOT an answer to my question. (Hence, the accepted answer remains accepted)

At that time I ended up using SVProgressHUD as it was very simple to integrate and use.

All you need to do is just drag the SVProgressHUD/SVProgressHUD folder into your project. (You may choose to go for cocoapods OR carthage, as well)

In Objective-C:

[SVProgressHUD show]; // Show
[SVProgressHUD dismiss]; // Dismiss

---

In Swift:

SVProgressHUD.show() // Show
SVProgressHUD.dismiss() // Dismiss

---

Additionally, Show and hide HUD needs to be executed on main thread. (Specifically you would need this to hide the HUD in some closure in background)

e.g.:

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    [SVProgressHUD dismiss]; // OR SHOW, whatever the need is.
});

---

There are additional methods for displaying custom messages with HUD, showing success/failure for short duration and auto dismiss.

MBProgressHUD still remains a good choice for developers. It's just that I found SVProgressHUD to suit my needs.
