Hi,
First advice imagereadingapplet -> ImageReadingApplet (Java name convention).
Second image file name is hard coded so you don't have to set param for the applet (Best would be not to hard code this name).
Finally maybe the most interesting, It seems that image kollam.gif is not at root folder.
I don't really know netbeans but your image must be in bin folder, the same as imagereadingapplet.class.
