Thanks for responding, I have read the book "Learn Lua for iOS GD" & going to start the second book, But I was looking for some concepts book describing game physics concepts, creating puzzle games, drag & drop games if you can provide me any example with good documentation. It will be of great help for me.
Thanks,

Concepts of gaming are universal where as specifics are code samples. So what you are after is the code samples, where you can find the samples for Drag & Drop, Physics, etc.

was designed to be a starting point to see different resources:
The book (http://www.packtpub.com/gideros-mobile-game-development/book) explains lots from setting up the project to create small game with physics
but additionally there are lots of other tutorials, based on what you want/need
So if you are interested in Box2d physics, you can try out these tutorials from basics up to some elements:
