Santoshi,
First let me explain that my background is in project management and i have 20 year of experience in the IT field with 17 years of project management experience. while QA testing was one component in the project, it is just the last one year that i have become the QA manager for our web development group. so i don't really have all the answers on what a person needs to be a good software tester. i think that a broad technology understand is necessary and that you need to learn about and possibly even play with some automated test tools at home, so you can speak about them in an interview. i am not suggesting you say you have experience with them but just that you have done research on them and part of that research included downloading and trying the top 3 testing tools. look at the information on this sites test tools tab for information on the various categories (there are 5) and different types of testing tools. the other thing i see in a good tester is being willing to look beyond what a developer or designer indicate you need to try to test the software they have developed. try every possible combination of less than "normal" actions a user might try. because for all that you define, there will still be 25-45% of the testing untapped or not considered or thought of. try to think like an end user, which means you need to be very familiar with the products you are testing, so you know how a business user is using those products. Suggest that you consider a position as an apprentice if you can find one. learn in an organization where they know you do not have testing skils yet but have the burning desire to learn. most of all be sure you are a team player and good employee.
