@akshay,
If you are serious about macro photography, 35mm 1.8 might not be what you should opt for. Instead, any dedicated macro lens should do a better job in macro than the normal lens 35mm 1.8. If nikkor macro lens is out of your budget, you may think of other 3rd party lens such as Tamron SP60 or SP90, which are both very good value macro lenses. If macro lens are all too costly to you, the next choice should be 50mm f1.8 which is even cheaper but capture things bigger than 35mm f1.8, if you can focus your subject manually.
