Aditya,

you need to first create a directory (in oracle) which points to the os directory where the image files are stored. Use the CREATE DIRECTORY IMG_DIR ... syntax. You will have to use this directory name (IMG_DIR in this case) in the BFILENAME() function. In your plsql, you can say
TBFILE BFILE := BFILENAME('IMG_DIR', 'HELLO.BMP');

hth
