Hello guys,
I am new to this interface between LCD and micro controller. I am trying to send code to LCD display through arduino mini pro, Arduino compiler says the code is uploaded but i cant see any thing on my Serial Display.

I am using Serial LCD display with backpack from sparkfun : http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/LCD/Monochrome/Corrected-SFE-0016-DataSheet-08884-SerialGraphicLCD-v2.pdf
And Arduino mini pro micro-controller http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9220
with FTDI FTDI Basic Breakout - 3.3V - DEV-08772 - SparkFun Electronics
connector to connect arduino with computer.

it seem their is something wrong going on cause the screen display wired numbers from right to left.

You need to look up the weird numbers in the data sheet and see what the LCD is receiving, that might give you a clue as to what is wrong.
However you seem to be contradicting your self:-

but i cant see any thing on my Serial Display.

cause the screen display wired numbers from right to left.

you can't have it both ways.
