This is my sad story about my blog.right from the beginning when my blog started(installed manually wordpress 2.6)) my blogs theme is not under my control.The problem is that sometime my blog side bar is totally dragged to below my posts.
i finally depend upon you guys please tell me the possible reason for this.

What theme and what browser are you using? Your theme may be only compatible with a different version of wordpreess, or your browser may be parsing the css incorrectly.

Find your current theme in theme folder and open up index.php. Find line similar to following (taken from default theme):
PHP:
<?php endwhile; ?>
And add before it </div>, so it's like this:
PHP:
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>

(If you can't find it, feel free to attach the file to your post)

Only in case there are unclosed <div> tags. You can easily check this in some editors in which you can collapse/expand tags. But usually you can use Inspector tool (Chrome has one built in, Firefox users can get Firebug, Opera also has something) to check for logical errors (In this case posts shouldn't stack inside each other)

Nope, but if the page looks weird, you can guess correctly most of the times that a tag is not closed.
