In case of reflection phenomenon rays have to fall on the surface. So if we stand on the side of the mirror rays emanating from our body could not fall the mirror surface and hence no reflection.

Because the angle of reflection is too great. You have to have a narrow enough angle in relationship to the mirror that your eyes can see the light being reflected on the other side of the angle.

The picture that is created in a mirror is actually a reflection of an object that is in front of a mirror and therefore it looks reverse.
