Hi Ravi,
The first principle to understand is that the pimples will reverse the spin on the ball. If you play with topspin it will come back to you with backspin and vice versa.
If you like the ball to come to you with topspin then start with a backspin ball. A large part of learning to play against pimples is then to get experience playing against it as it is counter intuitive. The more you play against it the better and more comfortable you will become.
