Ok.. I admit that the title is misleading because even after watching all these videos m still playing horrifying tennis but reading further is no harm for sure.
It was July 7, when an idea of playing lawn tennis creeped in my mind. In no time, I and my friend Anup rushed and bought two tennis rackets of 'Head'. Just after one hour of play it was clear to us that we suck at this big time !! Serving in correct court or executing a two handed back hand were like distant dreams, we couldn't even grip our rackets properly.
So, to alleviate my pain I planned to learn tennis online.. yeah m an IT guy :P. The next day I went through plethora of videos and found the below ones quite simple, straight and educative. Watch and learn, but please don't become complacent, we still need a hell lot of practice (please note that I have already confessed about the title :P)

Second Video: The forehand
