Hi Asad,
To curve the ball you need to put sidespin on the ball. Take a look at this previous Ask the Coach question on How to curve the ball in the air.
To access the full set of International rules you can go to the www.ittf.com website. Ten go to their Regulations for the full set of rules.
We have a summary of the main rules for you on our site. Take a look in our Free Downloads section for the Table Tennis Rules (PDF). This will give you a good idea of the International rules.

Hitting the Ceiling
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
