Converting rows to columns using shell script

I have a script which converts rows to columns.
Code:
file_name=$1
mailid=$2
#CREATE BACKUP OF ORIGINAL FILE
#cp ${file_name}.xlsx ${file_name}_temp.xlsx
#tr '\t' '|' < ${file_name}_temp.xlsx >  ${file_name}_temp.csv
#rm ${file_name}_temp.xlsx
pivot_row=`head -1 ${file_name}`
sed 1d ${file_name}>Sandeep
print "QUARTER\tMETRIC\tMETRIC_VALUE" > pivot_results.xlsx
#LOOP WHILE ROWS ARE LEFT
while IFS= read line
do
   counter=1
        curr_line=$line
        curr_metric=`echo $line | cut -f1 -d","`
        curr_value="dummy"
        #LOOP WHILE COLUMN VALUES FOR THE CURRENT ROW ARE NOT NULL
        while [[ $curr_value != "" ]];
        do
                ((counter=counter+1))
                curr_value=`echo $line | cut -f${counter} -d","`
                if [[ $curr_value != "" ]]; then
                        curr_pivot_value=`echo $pivot_row | cut -f${counter} -d","`
                        print "${curr_pivot_value}\t${curr_metric}\t${curr_value}" >> pivot_results.xlsx
                fi
        done
done < Sandeep
rm Sandeep
echo "Pivoting completed successfully!!"
uuencode pivot_results.xlsx pivot_results.xls | mailx -s PIVOT $mailid
echo "Result mailed to specified id!!"

for example the input is like this
Code:
1990    1991
kiran     201     202

and the output should be like this
Code:
1990     kiran         201
1991     kiran         202

but iam getting the output as
Code:
1990    kiran        201
1991
           kiran        202


one column is going down.any body can help me.thanks in advance.

can you provide more samples?

If the input file is

Code:
1990    1991
kiran     201     202
andy     205     276

What's your expect output?

How about this using awk:
Code:
awk '
  NR==1{ for(h=1;h<=NF;h++) R[h]=$h ; next }
  { for(v=2;v<=NF;v++) print R[v-1], $1, $v }
' infile


or in bash:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
while IFS= read line
do
    if [ -z "${R[0]}" ]
    then
        R=( $line )
    else
        C=( $line )
        v=1
        while [ $v -lt ${#C[@]} ]
        do
            echo ${R[v-1]} ${C[0]} ${C[v]}
            let v=v+1
        done
    fi
done < infile
