Exploring MSSM parameter space after the discovery of Higgs Boson at 125 GeV naturally demands large top-squark mixing or large trilinear coupling parameter A(t) in particular, so as to avoid excessively heavy squark, specially for the universal models like CMSSM. We study stability of electroweak symmetry breaking vacua in possible presence of deeper charge-color symmetry breaking minima within MSSM. Besides stable vacua, we consider scenarios characterized by the presence of global CCB minima, with SM like charge and color conserving vacuum, having stability over cosmologically large lifetime (long-lived states). We allow vacuum expectation values for both stop as well as sbottom fields, since these belong to the third generation of sfermions with larger Yukawa couplings that have immediate effect on the tunneling time. Moreover, for large mu regions, radiative corrections to Higgs boson mass from bottom-squark loop is quite significant. Regions of MSSM parameters space become viable for large A(t) and large mu zones which are generically excluded via the traditional analytical CCB constraints. For a large value of tan beta, safe vacua associated with large values of vertical bar mu vertical bar and vertical bar A(t)vertical bar are predominantly long-lived and may be associated with relatively light stop masses. We also identify low mu regions associated with long-lived states. Both the above zones can be friendly to muon g - 2 constraint. We also impose constraints from Br(B -> X-s Upsilon) and Br(B-s -> mu(+)mu(-)). We do the analysis for a moderate and a large tan beta. We choose an example parameter point in the gaugino mass plane of M-1, M-2 that satisfies the dark matter constraints, basically a decoupled sector with respect to CCB.
