Karthick,
instead of trying to redefine or copy paste from other well defined articles, I m directly giving links to the articles which will help you..

REST API in general : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST_API

REST API in Salesforce :
Getting Started : https://developer.salesforce.com/page/REST_API
Developer Guide : https://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_rest/

once you spend sometime reading these and if you start working with samples, you can come back and post any specific question you have with the code you are working on..
