Ok Tom you were right I have discovered the problem

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Internet and ssh every thing is back on VM but the only problem is my
desired IP is gone in it.
It appears inspite of uninstalling network manager gnome it is there
and doing what ever it wants.It has changed the resolv.conf file
definition also.
