My tire is completely bruised and wounded, I mean there is a nice cut
on it and i find it a bit unreliable for long rides.
So i am planning to replace my rear 700x38c Innova tire with a slicker
sleeker sexier 700x32c tire. Now i have two doubts
i. Will it matter if i still have a 700x38c front tire and a 700x32c
rear tire?
ii. How good will be the fitting of the tire on my rear rim which
earlier used to have a 700x38c tire?

No trouble there... All the road grip and handling will remain roughly the same if ur front tyre is the wider one

My hybrid wheels (18mm rim width) could actually do fine with 700x23c (not recommended). But upto 26c was actually 'legal'

You need to make sure your existing rim is narrow enough for 32 mm.
Good luck

I brought a 28c kenda tire and it fitted just like a new Levis curve
Id jeans would fit a girl.
The ride was perfect and i am enjoying every second on my bike.
Planning to head towards Mysore this weekend to check how well it goes
on a Long Distance Ride.

After a month of rest, i am good to go with my knee, yet i don't want
to push it too hard. So the plan is to leave for Mysore from Silk
Board at 4:00 a.m. . I am hoping i will reach Mysore by 12:00. Will
have a nice lunch there and then head back in Volvo. Don't want to
risk my knee to try coming back on that murderous route during after
noon. :(
