I just played this match against a player in live chess blitz.I think I played quite well according to my standard. But I also think that I could have made better moves .I know that he/she made too many blunders also. Can you people suggest any    better moves. Since it was blitz we couldn't think much.I did an analysis myself and found some better moves for me .But there are a lot of masterbrains among you who could do it better.

I think you'll have trouble applying anything you learn in your future blitz games because they're too fast.  I blunder pieces all the time in blitz, so you probably already know a lot of the mistakes you made as you likely spotted them right after you made them, so there's not really anything to learn in those cases. 

Here are some things I spotted at a quick glance anyway

I dont like f3 so early in the opening.  I think you should develop a piece.  Nc3 for example.  Then after c5 I think you should just take the pawn.  Be3 seems to be a mistake.  Nd2 hangs your knight.  Black misses it.  Nb5 loses material.  Black was winning, seemed a little inaccurate trying to pick off the trapped knight, then went wrong, let you fork his pieces and lost.

Play longer games.  This will help you to discipline your move selection so that you'll stop hanging pieces.  I'm guessing that at least 1/3 of the moves your opponent makes in games are complete, uncalculated suprises to you.  This should very rarely be the case.  You should have a very definite reason for the move you are making, and have already considered your opponents moves and found the best one for him.  In this way, you "prove" that your moves are correct instead of hoping that they are.  Someone who hopes their moves are correct will never consistently win against someone who proves they are better.
