Becoming a writer was never on her agenda. When Ira Trivedi enrolled herself in Columbia Business School's MBA programme, she thought she'd end up as a businesswoman.
And later, when she entered the Miss India contest, she thought that a lucrative modelling career would stem out of it. 
But instead,u00a0 what came out of it, was her first book 'What Would You Do To Save The World: Confessions Of A Would-Have-Been Beauty Queen' . Since then there's been no looking back.
Ira, who has just launched her third book, There Is No Love On Wall Street' talks to CS about stumbling upon a career in writing:
It's only words
People say that your first book is usually autobiographical. That was the case with me. I might not have won the crown, but I won myself a book deal. Every book that I've written has had glimpses of me - experiences that have stayed. I also interned at the Wall Street, and that experience wasn't all that positive. Even while I was there, I knew that I would write a book on investment bankers one day. I was like an observer all along.

But seriously!
If you're young and a former Miss India contestant, people immediately brand you as a chick lit novelist. But over time, I've learnt not to be offended. Men constitute a good chunk of my target audience, though I don't write with a certain audience in mind. And I have received good feedback from them. But now, I think I want to write something more serious. I'm heavily into yoga and my next book will probably be based on travel, spirituality and yoga.
