I checked pitivi, I found it a very easy, light tool.  It is however in the
very beginnings of development, and doesn't have many features that kdenlive
offers.  No transition plugins, no way to normalize sound, add special
effects etc.  Keeping Renuka's requirements in mind kdenlive is currently
the best bet.

But, I do like the simplicity of pitivi.  If you have a couple of audio or
vidieo clips or video clips and want to cut or join and render it is ready
and recommended.  Thanks jose for pointing it out. I wish someone can write
a transcription plugin to it, it will be useful for me in transcribing
speeches/lectures into text.
