I installed fresh zookeeper & kafka both. I started them both. Then when I want to see the list of topics with this command:
bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper localhost 2181
It gives me the socket connection closed. Here is the screen shot:
darpanshah@darpan-ubuntu:/opt/Kafka$ bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper localhost 2181

Thanks in advance. Got stuck.
That is not an error. The topic details are fetched from Zookeeper. Hence the client (invoked by kafka-topics.sh) first connects to Zookeeper, then establishes a session, gets the data and then disconnects at the end. This is the expected behavior of any clients that will get some data from Zookeeper.
