vs. 1. d4 I play Nf6, and after 2.c4 I regularly play the Budapest (2...e5).  But, vs. 2.Nf3, I want to learn 2...b5, the Indian game, Polish defense.  However, I cannot find anything on the opening and was wondering if you could help. 

Secondly, I don't know what to play vs. 2.e3, 2.Bg5, 2.g3, 2.Nc3, etc.  Is 2...e5 playable in some of them?

Thanks

Against 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 I play the Medusa Gambit 2...g5. This is a real tricky opening
to use against the Queens Gambit type of setup for White because after
3.Bxg5 Ne4 attacking the B 4. B to either h4, e3 or f4. 4...c5 and Black comes
out with the Q to either a5 or b6 depending on how White plays the line.
See my article at Chessville on the Medusa Gambit in my column called The
Search for Dragons and Mythical Chess Openings.
