Now I modified the code and  attaching it.
Now thread fires only once. After that it enter into runLoop and not going
further.
When I'm calling [self myThread:nil]; getting the warning:
'SendWindowClass' may not respond to '-send:'
(Messages without a matching method signature will be assumed to return 'id'
and accept '...' as arguments.)

Without calling this the thread is not firing at all.
