Hi Urjit,

The first step towards creating your own ExtBase / Fluid extension in 
TYPO3 is to install the "ExtensionBuilder". You can download the latest 
version from here:
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/extension_builder

Once you have that installed, please click on the option "Domain 
Modelling". You will get the options to define various parameters for 
your new extension, the plugins which you intend to have.

Then comes the part with "Model Definitions". You can click-drag on "New 
Model Object" and define your domain models. If your model needs its own 
repository, you have to check on "Is aggregate root?" under the "Domain 
object settings".

You can associate the actions with your controller(s) through the 
"Default Actions" section. Use the "Properties" section to define your 
table fields and their properties.

If you can get this part sorted out correctly, the extension builder 
should be able to create the basic files and structure of your 
extension. Let us know if you are stuck with something. We are here to 
help :-)
