// I want to get Validation[String, (Int, Int)] out of this. The closest I could get is ..

scala> (d, e).sequence[({type λ[α]=Validation[java.lang.String, α]})#λ, String]
res38: scalaz.Validation[java.lang.String,(scalaz.Validation[String,Int], String)] = Success((Success(12),ghosh))

scala> d <|*|> e
res0: scalaz.Validation[String,(Int, String)] = Success((12,ghosh))

scala> (d |@| e).tupled
res2: scalaz.Validation[String,(Int, String)] = Success((12,ghosh))

Thanks .. I was tricked into thinking in terms of sequence .. Alexey also suggested the same on the ML ..
