To quote every other Indian tech-worker I have ever dealt with: "Do one thing".

Pick a project that you need to have working and try making it work, you'll find yourself learning about tools and techniques you'll employ immediately and will get a handle on because you need them. When this project is done to the point of it working for you, start another one. After 3 projects get "completed" go back to the first one and see if you can find some of the bad decisions/ugly implementations/missing features and fix them. There may be a better framework to do what you want that you didn't know about the first time, or a new language to try out.

Jay you said you were in high school; don't stress too much about learning what the hot thing is right now, 90% of it will be out of fashion or found to cause cancer by the time you're old enough to rent an SUV.
