Hi Zahid.

First take some time reading http://grass.osgeo.org/intro/firsttime.php
in the official GRASS-GIS web page.

Then try to play around with the data you already have or take a look at
http://grass.osgeo.org/gdp/tutorials.php where several tutorials give
you a starting point.

A nice introduction to GRASS' "structure" can be found in the GRASS
manual http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/helptext.html.
You can learn a lot about what you can do with GRASS by reading (again
in the manual) the raster processing and vector processing sections:
http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/rasterintro.html
http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/vectorintro.html

Post in the list if you have any kind of difficulties. But it's a good
idea to search for an answer that has been already given in this lists
archive (look here for links
http://grass.osgeo.org/community/support.php).

Hope you like the GRASS-GIS experience.

Greetings, Nikos
