Hello SharmaPawan,

Composing chess problems is one of the most interesting aspects of chess. Like you, me too often make original chess positions. (Check out my original puzzles at More Puzzles Section). My advice to you is do not make a puzzle that starts with a capture (or check).

A quiet move, preferably a waiting move is more often the theme in most chess problems I've seen. 

Like you I made several chess problems with many errors but that is very common to a beginning composer. My last advice is: Keep on composing, someday you can make an amazing chess problem that can shook the chess world!

 Also, practice they say makes perfect! -Asorski-

I didn't know Chess.com had a ragebait problem way back in 2012.

FYI: Qxg6 is the actually correct first move for white.
