Gaurav, I have some suggestions for you. 1.) Shoot slide film and use the camera in manual mode to teach yourself how to expose correctly. It sounds as if you might need a refresher course.
2.) Practice proper technique. Perhaps your hands are too shaky. Relax as you take the shot. Invest in a tripod, even a small table top one. 3.) Purchase good film. I stick with Provia 100F and Velvia for slides. It is tough to beat Superia-Reala for outdoor portraits. If I need speed, NPZ is the way to go. Don't settle for cheap film. When it comes to film from my experience you get what you pay for. 4.) Force yourself to stick with the 50mm prime for a while to keep things simple for a while. You will soon understand its limitations and what to expect from this focal length, which will help you understand your zoom better. 5.) Find images you like, then do some reading on how to duplicate them. Then experiment to see if you can. The more you try, the better a photographer you will be. Good luck.
