No its not showing my wifi connection .. Nor accepting fresh username and password ...
Internet recovery over a wireless connection will be quite slow, and can easily take several hours.
If you can plug an ethernet cable directly to your router - that will be much faster
Its retina model ... No lan port #
Then, choosing to connect to Apple's servers through a wireless connection will be slow.
Wait for it.
If this is a work network, with a proxy server setup, then connecting to Apple's servers will fail. This page will help you decide if your network setup should work for internet recovery.
My network setup should work as per these ... Anyways thanks for your support .. Its late night here in India, i will go to apple service provider tomorrow. They will install fresh os for me .. Thanks again for your support

If the Mac can be close enough to hardwire, chances are the wireless signal will be strong enough that it should be no slower than hard-wired. There are VERY few home broadband plans that can fully saturate a good wireless network.
installer
If you are going to an Apple provider, consider taking with you an 8GB or more SD card or USB thumb drive. You can ask them to also make you an installer. They'll probably know how already (the UNIX commands are built into the installer software). Partition the media as GUID, and format it as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled).
