Hey Vivek, If you are using a DSL connection(bsnl broadband) or similar, you will have to do port forwarding or create a DMZ. incase if you have different type of internet connection, then you will have to check to if if incoming connections are possible. this is has to done at multiple layers e.g firewall, networking equipment in your house(eg. DSL router).
The basic idea is to allow external hosts to establish connections direction to your machine. so make it work, your network has to be configured in such a manner than all incoming requests coming on certain port on your public IP address would get forwarded to your machine in LAN which has a private IP range by your router. this is known as port forwarding.so, do describe what kind of network you got, so we may try to guide you further. also, you don't need a static ip to do it this. It is possible to do this dynamic ip address. i have done the same on my bsnl broadband connection, it works. further, run a check to see if your may be ports already OPEN at https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 or similar online scanner.
