Hi Subhan.

- Would the following serve you?
  ((org-agenda-list nil (- (org-today) 7) 6) ; 6 day agenda starting 6 days ago

I tried (and failed) to find how to define a custom command in the agenda to
this purpose, but the last function fulfilled my wish. An unexpected twist
(which you might like) is that (org-agenda-list nil (- (org-today) 7) 7) gives a
7 day agenda starting Monday of last week, rather than 7 days ago.

I hope it helps!

Many thanks to all people involved in org-mode for their good work and patience
with the "rowdy" users!
