No sir, problem is with my own DNS, I know, for all other DNS in my network 
are resolving fine as well as www.dnsstuff.com at the same time.

Here it is:

[dn-deepak at tacacs dn-deepak]$ dig @218.248.255.193 
www.kashyapenterprises.com

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> @218.248.255.193 www.kashyapenterprises.com
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[dn-deepak at tacacs dn-deepak]$

Here it works for all other domains/hosts.

[dn-deepak at tacacs dn-deepak]$ dig @218.248.255.193 
www.kashyapenterprises.com +trace

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> @218.248.255.193 www.kashyapenterprises.com +trace
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd

This is it's default behaviour for all domains/hosts, even for those it is 
resolving correctly.
