Hi Bharat,
Take a look at these lessons on Forehand Topspin Off Backspin and Backhand Topspin Off Backspin.
For serving, take a bucket of balls and spend 30 minutes a few times a week and experiment with types of serves. It doesn't what you try, be creative.
To improve your attacking game think about making a topspin whenever the ball on;y bounces once on your side of the table. This is a mindset as well as a skill.
To return a fast topspin firstly you need to be watching the ball carefully. This will give you the best opportunity to see the ball early and react appropriately. Then use the Backhand Block.

first of all thanq u sir for ur tips
secondly i play with my right hand so if someone hits a topspin(short) i'm seeing d ball carefully i'm trying it to block but den also i'm not able to do that
third:if someone hits a topspin on my forehand nd i'm blocking it he quickly hits it on my backhand nd i'm not able to do that what is d cure for dis??
The key here is watching the ball carefully and being open to the ball coming to either side. Then move as best as you can to play an effective shot.

thanq u sir for ur tips
if someone is continuously playing chop nd his service is gud how to defeat that type of player?
You need to focus on developing your short return. If their serve us short and you can return it back short then you will gain the advantage in the rally and get the first opportunity to attack.
If their serve is long then you need to topspin the return.

Hi Bharat,
The principle is the same. You should try to topspin it if the ball comes long using the same stroke as we have shown you in those lessons.
