Please guide me how to add a slider/custom page on homepage and then show blog posts as usual.
also, i don't find an option to add widgets below Menu bar
Hi there,
you can use a GP Page Header and add any Slider or other content Short Code within its Content area. Then assign this to your Blog page.
Here is the page header documentation:

What exactly do you want to appear below the navigation?
i want to put a slider, and then few posts lists based on categories. Something like on http://www.digital-photography-school.com 's homepage.
I just want that on homepage. And not on posts/pages.
i am a little new to wordpress. On blogger there used to be a simple drag and drop widget. But in wordpress i don't see an option to place a widget/slider/code on home page, Above the posts
I think the Page Header method that David mentioned is your best bet.
You can create a new Page Header, and add a widget area into the content area. If you use a plugin like this, you can add a widget area to the Page Header using a shortcode: https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-shortcode/
Let me know if you need more info :)
