I tried with this:

       columns = line.split()
       print columns[0], columns[1]
       if not line: continue

but it is showing error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

If your files have two blank lines between each useful line, you have to do something to avoid trying to print those items for the blank lines.
Depending how sure you are about your formatting, you could either do a

  if not line: continue

or a

   if columns < 3: continue

(Don't top-post. It makes the message very confusing to someone else trying to follow it. Also, enable your mail program's quoting feature -- currently it's not adding the marks at the beginning of each line you quote.)

If you're going to skip over blank lines, it'd be good to do it before trying to print from it. Move the test up by a line.
