Sameer,
You will not be able to ping the Serial interface IP address even from the router if the interface or the line protocol is down.
As seen from the logs, the serial link went down for about 20s and hence you were not able to ping it.
HTH, rate if it does

But serial went down at May 17 15:35:18
and serial came up at May 17 15:57:52

you need to identify whether the serial interafce went down at that time.
The fact remains that a serial interface Ip address is reachable when it is Up up
HTH, rate if it does

Probably it is because while you tried to ping your interface went down and when it started to reply you interface came back. If the line protocol goes down on a particular interface the directly connected route will be flushed from the route table so you won't be able to ping it.
Hope it helps,
