Namaste Sahil,
    I have once done what you are trying to do here.
What I implemented was a remote ssh to a BeagleBone.

You can implement this using free softwares and do not need to use Team 
viewer or the likes. Any ways team viewer is not available for ARM 
processors meaning you can not install them on ARM SBCs

To get a public URL to reach to your RPi you need a public URL mapped to 
your dynamic IP.
You can get a URL free for a month(Which you can renew freely) on 
noip.com
There are also instructions here
http://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/installing-the-linux-dynamic-update-client-on-ubuntu/

You also need to setup port forwarding on your router to forward the SSH 
and HTTP requests to the RPi.
once the setup is done you will be to ssh into your pi from any where 
using.

   ssh pi@<url_from_noip>

Hope these instructions help. Let me know If you need more detailed 
instructions or help setting this up.
