I don't really understand the problem. The error log shows that the
index page for the child ("experiment") directory is being requested.
I'm not sure why the referer is showing up the way it is, but that
shouldn't be relevant. The URL of interest in the log is
/personal/joydeep/experiment/index.php, so it would appear that this
file, /var/personal_work_area/joydeep/experiment/index.php, doesn't
exist.
On a probably unrelated note, is there a reason you have an alias set
up for your document root? Aliases are usually used to make
directories that are not under the DocumentRoot available through the
web server, or sometimes to give alternate URLs to content that is
under the DocumentRoot (though RewriteRules are more common for that,
I think).
