Without budget specified, no one can suggest you a bike.

it depends on your budget. If mileage is your main priority you can consider commuters like discover, passion, splender etc. or if you are not concerned about mileage you can consider fz, fz-s, pulsar etc. All these are easy to maneuver in traffic and are comfortable.

Its hard w/o any budget specifications.
Since your height is good, every bike will be comfortable for you.
Since you are using for commuting, the bike needs good mileage too.
A 150cc bike will be suit your needs more.
Option are
Pulsar 150,
HH Cbz-xtreme, Hunk,
Honda Unicorn Dazzler,
Yamaha Sz-r,
Suzuki Gs 150.

Must try Dazzler once.

If talking about 150cc segment, then must try Yamaha R15.

^^ As you explained nothing regarding budget, so the option for R15 was given after looking your xBhp id "sp33dfr33k"

What are your preferences? Do you want a cruise bike/ regular bike to commute/ sporty model? Without knowing your preferences, it will be difficult to suggest. As mentioned by other member, provide us your budget (most important)
