I have a little lump like clot in my hand just below my elbow. The same kind of lump/clot is also there on one of my leg around 3 inches above knee. It's not paining at all and also it's not very clearly visible but if I rub my hands around it, it feels like a smoll clot. Does this kind of clot develops if you carry very heavy weight sometimes?

It may be nothing more then some kind of swelling but if it is a clot in the artery/vein it can dislodge and migrate in your body. Eventually it will reach the point where it will plug up the flow for that particular vein... if that point is in your brain or heart (which has its own vessels too) or any of the vital organs, you could potentially have a serious problem.
Don't panic.. it is prob. normal but to be on the safe side you should see an MD promptly.

You normally couldn't see a clot. If you have extreme swelling, then you should go to the doctor immediately. Otherwise--call their office and make an appointment for sometime this week. Yes, your hand IS below your elbow.
