What do you think is the limit of keywords to be listed on title tag, meta keyword tag and meta description tag..?? Is using 22 keywords in meta keyword tag too much a too less..?? (If you could enlighten me with more about meta tags)

Title - 17
Description - 27
Keywords - 106 to 110
Maybe it's just me but I think it's more likely to help if you just have a few keywords. Like 5-10. If meta keywords even matter at all, I think fewer is more believable.

I came to the conclusion that meta keywords is just used as a trap nowadays.
No SE worth it's salt uses them for positive ranking anymore, but there is evidence that stuffing it harms your ranking. Not having a meta keywords does not affect ranking either way.
Also, all crappy site builders include meta keywords by default, but if you look at the output of a trusted CMS or blog, you probably wont a find meta keywords tag. Wordpress doesn't even bother with the description by default.
I agree with griffinsbridge meta keywords is no longer necessary, and i don't think that stuffing a bunch of keywords on the title will work in any way, just try to write your title better and different to the competition on the keyword you are working on. A 3 words keyword is the best way

Oh you fellas! I dunno, sometimes!
He's a spammer! 
In Australia we have a saying "Pulling your leg."
Have a look at the spam he's spread over the net, if you reckon it's worth bothering with: http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&a … &meta=
I've pulled his leg. Have you seen him back?
The more answers you give to this garbage, the more content you add to the page with his backlink. 
I only put 3-5 target keywords in each page. It's not the number of keywords that matters, but the search volume and competition of the keywords. It's a good idea to choose less competitive (long tail) keywords but still with good number of searches.
