Academically she is an architect, having graduated from the renowned School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi. But with the vision of a larger canvas to write her role on, she joined one of the premier Civil Services of the country.Ms Chopra retired from the post of Director General of Income Tax in August, 2009. She had the good fortune of very intensive and extensive involvement with income tax investigations during her 34 years long journey in the service. This exposure has greatly influenced her writings also.Sounds like fiction but it is true. Ms Chopra is now actively associated with her son, Siddharth Chopra’s enterprise, which is engaged in the business of designing and producing kids’ clothing under its own brand ‘Caca Cina’.Her debut book titled ‘They May Catch You!’ , in the non-fiction category, was published by M/s Vision Books in 2012. The book, which was aimed at sensitising and educating the lay public, and demystifying income tax investigations, has been a big success.‘Besides the Side Effects!’, her second book, is a novel, in which the endeavours of an investigating officer of the income tax department unravel a financial scam, which in turn leads to discovery of an unholy nexus between the political, bureaucratic set-up and a pseudo-spiritual guru. The book waspublished by Notion Press in 2014.‘Eyes of the Mind and Other Stories’, her third book, is a compilation of 14 short stories, deftly crafted by the author. The intense, sensitive and thought-provoking stories cover a wide range of social and other issues. Diverse dimensions of the lives of fellow human beings have been portrayedthrough these stories.view less
