Shirish,

If you use Firefox as a webbrowser, you can install the ShowIP plugin. It
will show the IPv6/IPv4 address of the current page in the status bar.

If you are not using Firefox, my I suggest one of the following sites to
"check" if you are getting both DNS resolution (IPv4 or IPv6 transit) and
endpoint connection (IPv6):

Logo Animation Sites:
http://ipv6.google.com - The Google logo Jumps when you arrive on the site
via IPv6
http://www.kame.net/ - Dancing Turtle

Shows your IPv6 and IPv4 address
