Hi Sujit, The healthy foliage convinces me that a lack-of-chilling is responsible for your lack-of-bloom. Try digging a few tulips & daffodils in September (or October or November) and put them in your refrigerator for 2-3 months and then replant them. I bet you'll be rewarded with blooms! Check them occasionally for mold. I'm not sure if that will be a problem or not.
