Thanks Guys, 
Its not a classroom stuff. But I am trying to understand more about VI. I know it can be done using commands.
And ya, I need the result of the code given by zaxxon, but trying to do it in vi itself.
I tried using selecting using visual block and pasting it in the required place, but its giving me a TAB kinda space between the words pasted and the lines. Thinking on y its happening.
So thought i may be doing in the wrong way,so to get clarified.............

paste
PASTE(1) General Commands Manual PASTE(1) NAME
paste - paste multiple files together SYNOPSIS
paste [-s] [-d list] file... OPTIONS
-d Set delimiter used to separate columns to list. -s Print files sequentially, file k on line k. EXAMPLES
paste file1 file2 # Print file1 in col 1, file2 in col 2 paste -s f1 f2 # Print f1 on line 1 and f2 on line 2 paste -d : file1 file2 # Print the lines separated by a colon DESCRIPTION
Paste concatenates corresponding lines of the given input files and writes them to standard output. The lines of the different files are separated by the delimiters given with the option -s. If no list is given, a tab is substituted for every linefeed, except the last one. If end-of-file is hit on an input file, subsequent lines are empty. Suppose a set of k files each has one word per line. Then the paste output will have k columns, with the contents of file j in column j. If the -s flag is given, then the first file is on line 1, the second file on line 2, etc. In effect, -s turns the output sideways. If a list of delimiters is given, they are used in turn. The C escape sequences , , \, and are used for linefeed, tab, backslash, and the null string, respectively. PASTE(1)
