Hi Dilip and Welcome!
I am not respected and certainly not a sir. Congratulations! You are the 10.000.000 person to ask this question.
I'd suggest you go to here and try out a few until you hit one that suits you. It's all about taste and no one can decide this
for you. Once you hit on a distro you like, then googling will turn up loads of tutorials for you. Believe me, you won't have a problem finding them.
Have fun.
Ciao,
jdk
Your style of query has been presented all the time. LQ Search would/should be the first thing to do before posting a query since it is likely your questions may have been addressed.
FYI: I suggest that you look at 'How to Ask Questions the Smart Way' so in the future your queries provide information that will aid us in diagnosis of the problem or query.
As already mentioned it is a matter of personal preference...
The first two replies more or less should cover you...
First check what every distro has to offer you. (check their pages)
Then ask your self questions like:
-I want something similar to windows or not
-I want to install newer versions often or not (sometimes you might have minor or more serious problems when upgrading)
-Am I willing to spent some time fixing possible problems on installation or I want something that would work out of the box
-....
According to your previous research on distros try installing some of the most suitable for you and after giving them some trial period pick out the one you like the most.
Then .... just enjoy the journey as many of as still do...
