Kiran,
I purchased the ME66/K6 microphone to be used with a similar recorder...
Since you live in India, you should be able to pick up a very affordable
windjammer from CineCity: CineCity BMP-40

While it might not be as robust as the Sennheiser, Rode or Rycote
blimps, it is an excellent deal & works quite well. I doubt you could
build a DIY kit that would perform as well.
