Hi ,I would like to do simple but interesting circuits using
microprocessors
Is it possible without a microprocessor trainer kit ?

If by this you mean 'without a microprocessor board already made that
people charge money for' - certainly if you want to build your own.
There are plenty of micros out there that run slow enough (to the
outside world) that don't need special care due to high frequency
issues. You would, however, need to supply the proper power.

No it isn't. You will need some assembler or compiler to write the program.
You will need some hardware to program the micro. You want to see what
happens (if anything) once the program is running.
That's not to say you need to buy a trainer kit. You can make up one of your
own. For instance you can download Microchips PIC assembler and all the PIC
datasheets you need, including the assembler manuals.
http://www.microchip.com
So you can write programs. Then you can build a PIC-programmer. Lots of
designs on the net.
http://www.oshonsoft.com/picprojects.html
is only one example.
Then you need some breadboard to assemble the hardware of your project and
make it running.
You will have no nicely printed manuals, no CD inluding all the software and
datasheets, no readily buid programmer cum breadboard and no right for the
support that comes with a training kit. It's just about choices and money.
You can do about the same for AVR micros. FAIK ATMEL has a free assembler
and I was told there to be a very good GNU C-compiler for them. Programmers
are also widely available.
You can find several other micros as well. Just google.

If you mean, "can I use a solderless breadboard to make microprocessor
circuits?" then yes, there are many MCUs that are available in the
good old DIP format. I've got some R8C chips in 20 pin DIPs on order
for exactly that purpose - the final project will use the TSOP chips,
but I wanted to try some things on protoboard first.
Did you have something specific in mind?
Also, note that some micro kits are very inexpensive - Digikey has an
H8/Tiny starter kit for $49, for example, or a non-stocked R8C
starterkit for $38.

Is your goal to learn about a specific chip? Or do
you simply want to fool around with digital interactions
with the outside world? If the latter, note that you
can do quite a lot with the parallel (printer) port on an old
computer (Win9x or earlier). You can write all your
control code in whatever language you are already
comfortable with. Then, when you have a routine
you would like to put into an actual chip, you will
already have the basic logic worked out.
Lots of port info at www.lvr.com
Just a thought....

Yes.
The PICAXE is exactly what you want:

They can even be programmed with flowcharts, so no need to learn
assembly, C, or even BASIC.

Yes, but it's a LOT more work.
Good Luck!

You have a decent chance of winning a 16F88 trainer.

Simulators will only get you so far... You need a debugger or an ICE.

hi,
i m prateek working on 32 bit processor, i got struck with its coding
when at the time of compling it showed an error saying" entry point
does not point to an instruction", could u please help me out.

it doesn't know where to start executing your program, (or some part of it)
Bye.
