Hello Mani, You better start by learning some pinyin to have a good basis of vocabulary ,because you won't be able to read the Chinese characters from the very start. Meanwhile you have to learn the tones (4 tones) to be able to pronounce the words correctly . Then gradually start to learn the characters.

Use the words you have learned to make lots of correct sentences, then you'll get familiar with them. Keep using them before you forget them again. After you're able to use them correctly and fluently, you can feel a good sense of achievement. Enjoy yourself. Have fun while learning a foreign language instead of trying a shortcut which dosen't exist.
