Hi Avi,
One more doubt:
If I'm dead sure about my view on the market, either bullish or bearish, which one will be best - BUY option or write(SELL) options.
For eg., if i'm very much bullish on Nifty whose spot price is 3500. Then should I BUY call option (ATM/OTM) or SELL put option whose strike price <= 3500? Which one will be profitable, if we assume that we have enough margin money required for writing options.

DONT EVER BE VERY VERY SURE OF MARKET DIRECTION..see what the market is doing...my trading has improved tremendously after i incorporated this into my belief system
Now
if u are somehow very sure, then obviously buy option...reason is very simple...
1.writing gives u a limited amt of money...and if u r so sure about the dircetion, buying will give u many times more
2.buying doesnt require margin...so ROI is better.
3. Now i am going into my bread and butter stuff....(only this and no more cos this is dry bread..not butter ) write at a much lower level below support and use that money to fund your call. (DONT BLAME ME IF U LOSE UR CALL MONEY AS WELL AS MARKET REVERSES AND TAKES UR WRITTEN PUT OUT. I never said I am giving u a trading system )
