Try this code. This is the working code:

function sendMail() 
{ 
    $config['protocol'] = "smtp";
    $config['smtp_host'] = "ssl://smtp.googlemail.com";
    $config['smtp_port'] = "465";
    $config['smtp_user'] = "siva@gmail.com";
    $config['smtp_pass'] = "mygamilpassword";

    $message = "Your email body text goes here";

    $config['mailtype'] = "html";
    $ci = & get_instance();
    $ci->load->library('email', $config);
    $ci->email->set_newline("\r\n");
    $ci->email->from("siva@gmail.com");
    $ci->email->to("siva@gmail.com");
    $ci->email->subject("Resume from JobsBuddy");
    $ci->email->message($message);
    $ci->email->send();  
    echo $this->email->print_debugger();
}
