Hi Niranjan,
For your forehand, make sure you open the face of the bat more. Come forward with a flatter bat and then go upwards to get a good contact on the ball. Once you get the feel for this you will be able to get a more consistent contact on the forehand.
The Pendulum serve is a good serve to try. It allows you to generate a lot of spin and is relative easy to learn.
Regarding a bat the one we recommend is the PingSkills Rook. EVen though it is a bit more expensive than you want to spend, it will allow you to learn the game well.
