proper fitness routine
After so much reference from the Internet. I myself planned a fitness routine aiming for a lean and toned body like this in the following picture

I currently weigh 67 kg and 173 cm. I have planned my fitness routine as follows

<-- Day 1 -->
1. Stretching abs
2. Squats (no weights)
3. Cardio Activities like jumping 250 times and Fake Running for around 10 minutes i.e running with legs motion at the same position (not moving)
4. Pull Ups (around 3 X 3)
5. Push Ups (standard , declined and using fist)
6. Abs (situps, bicycle crunches and lower abs excersise)

<-- Day 2 -->
1. Stretching abs
2. Squats (no weights)
3. Cardio Activities like jumping 250 times and Fake Running for around 10 minutes i.e running with legs motion at the same position (not moving)
4. Chin Ups (around 3 X 3)
5. Biceps and Forearms using dumbells (8 kg each)
6. Abs (situps, bicycle crunches and lower abs excersise)

<-- Day 3 -->
Yoga particularly meditation , pranayama and asanas.

The following routine will be done every 3 days............
Will this routine help me reach my goal and are there any things to be avoided i.e are these excersises contradictory or affecting each other in any sense. For eg. I think, well am not sure that chin ups and push ups cannot be done the other day. Please add your opinions concerning my fitness routine.

This routine is good, I guess, but to get the body you want you will need to train more. I.e. you left out shoulder exercises(i.e. front-raises, traps, etc). Pull-ups and chin-ups won't be enough for your back to develop alone, try doing lateral raises, pull-downs, bend-over rows and deadlifts (be careful with deadlifts - wrong form/too much weight can f**k up your back and it's easy to tear muscles). For your biceps, chin-ups are pretty good for that and you're doing regular curls aswell. Try switching up the regular curls for something else once every 3-4 weeks(try preacher curls, cable curls, concentration curls, etc).

Push-ups is by far not enough for develop a nice thick, seperated chest. You will need to do benchpresses, dumbell-presses, fly's and perhaps dips. Dips and close-grip benchpressing will also develop your triceps(keep in mind that the triceps is like 2/3 of your arm, so never skip these).

All-in-all: your routine will surely train your chest, biceps, triceps, shoulder and back a bit, but not enough to reach your ultimate goal. However, I can be wrong ofcourse. If your muscles start developing and you're happy about it, then that is the most important thing.

Will this routine help me reach my goal?

Yes. They'll help you reach toward your goal, but whether you will reach your goal with them in a time acceptable to you is impossible for anyone here to say. As someone mentioned, it all depends on how far you are from your goal and how vigorously you do these.

and are there any things to be avoided i.e are these excersises
contradictory or affecting each other in any sense.

The main thing I would think to suggest is that you swap Day 2 and Day 3: do the yoga in between the exercise days, so that you have an extra day to recover before you repeat some of these exercises for a second day in a row (and, in my opinion, that includes cardio, depending on your intensity).
