Hi Manish
If you can accept your links to just be in the Top box, then just insert them into the QuichLaunch navigation
If you need them to be below the second box then you have to create a new MasterPage and insert some control below the PlaceHolderLeftActions ContentPlaceHolder

You should not do it all in code. But start by creating some standard ASP.NET Control which can show the links you want. Then use SharePoint Designer (SPD) to open the MasterPage and insert the control below the ContentPlaceHolder mentioned above. Now test that it's working. When satisfied on you dev enviroment use SPD to save the modified MasterPage to the file system and include it in a feature as described by http://mindsharpblogs.com/pauls/archive/2007/06/18/1903.aspx and also add you dll with the web control to the same feature
