I tried checking internet status of my system by issuing ping to some

not working if target address is not within the same network.
You've hit the well-known problem of "problem statement too simple for the
real world". "internet status" is not binary, it's a very large set of
capabilities to reach various hosts by various protocols. At any given
time, some may be available and others not.
It would be great if some one suggest me how to proceed for this.
First, define your needs. What do you mean by "internet status"? If you mean
"can I connect to port 80 at www.google.com", fine, test for that. If you
mean something else, then define it closely enough that you can test it.
Note that even simple questions may be more complicated than they appear. You
may be behind a firewall or proxy that passes traffic based on more than just
host and port - it could look at contents, or reconfigure itself based on
usage.
