past few days some of the features are missing...like
games(solitare,spider solitare,mindsweeper...etc only online games
icons are there..) wordpad, calculator and may b more which i havn't
noticed yet . I had already searched them in the C:\WINDOWS\system32.

If just the icons are missing from the desktop, the solution is to create
additional ones.
If the programs are missing from the \system32 folder, then it is time to
perform a repair installation. Other posters may have a better solution.
