Hi Siddhartha,
To play a topspin against a shorter ball you need to move in close to the table. As long as the ball only bounces once on your side of the table you can make the topspin quite comfortably. If the ball is only going to bounce once on the table then you are better to make a flick stroke.
Playing topspin against topspin is a more advanced stroke. You really need to watch the ball carefully as it will be dipping quickly. Start by hitting the ball more conservatively and with more control and then you can start to add a little topspin. Take a look at our lesson on Topspin to Topspin.

Hi Siddhartha,
Practice is now the key. Nobody is able to do this well straight away. Table Tennis is a game that requires practice and more practice once you have the basic idea.
