  We present in this talk a model based on SO(10) x SU(2)_{F} having symmetric
mass textures with 5 zeros constructed by us recently. The symmetric mass
textures arising from the left-right symmetry breaking chain of SO(10) give
rise to good predictions for the masses, mixing angles and CP violation
measures in the quark and lepton sectors (including the neutrinos), all in
agreement with the most up-to-date experimental data within 1 sigma. Various
lepton flavor violating decays in our model are also investigated. Unlike in
models with lop-sided textures, our prediction for the decay rate of mu -> e
gamma is much suppressed and yet it is large enough to be probed by the next
generation of experiments. The observed baryonic asymmetry in the Universe can
be accommodated in our model utilizing soft leptogenesis.
