I used to do it.. But every time I used to make different directory and cp the content..I always used to forget to change this variable..and I really had hard time dealing with the consequences..
So put more error-checking in your code. Check for the presence of certain files. If they're not there,complain that such-and-such variable hasn't been set and quit.

Also sombeody was suggesting me that $pwd serve the purpose in shell script. I did not find anything on google related with this.
pwd is your shell's working directory.
Things like cron or CGI scripts and so forth, which don't actually login as you, are likely to have a $pwd of /.

Hi; problem may be obvious, simple but I have to say it is somehow not easy to locate the issue.

The below command works in the terminal interactively but not as part of a bash script. I though maybe I needed to escape the "$dir" so it isn't interpreted literally, but that's not it. Thank you :).

pwd
PWD(1) BSD General Commands Manual PWD(1)NAME
pwd -- return working directory name
SYNOPSIS
pwd [-LP]
DESCRIPTION
pwd writes the absolute pathname of the current working directory to the standard output.
The following options are available:
-L If the PWD environment variable is an absolute pathname that contains neither "/./" nor "/../" and references the current directory,
then PWD is assumed to be the name of the current directory.
-P Print the physical path to the current working directory, with symbolic links in the path resolved.
The default for the pwd command is -P.
pwd is usually provided as a shell builtin (which may have a different default).
EXIT STATUS
The pwd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO cd(1), csh(1), ksh(1), sh(1), getcwd(3)STANDARDS
The pwd utility is expected to be conforming to IEEE Std 1003.1 (``POSIX.1''), except that the default is -P not -L.
BUGS
In csh(1) the command dirs is always faster (although it can give a different answer in the rare case that the current directory or a con-
taining directory was moved after the shell descended into it).
pwd -L relies on the file system having unique inode numbers. If this is not true (e.g., on FAT file systems) then pwd -L may fail to detect
that PWD is incorrect.
