Hi Sachin,

I know what you mean about not understanding people at a high speed. It happens in every language, and can be frustrating. The best thing to do (as you probably already know) is to work on your listening skills (lots of practice) and also pronunciation skills. The better you are able to form and understand the sounds yourself, the easier you will find it to distinguish what others are saying.
Another important point is to try to go into the conversation (the movie, the news broadcast, or whatever) with a sense of the context -- knowing basically what people are talking about. That way you don't need to catch every word.
Good luck.
