Hello,

get the chapters. Now, while defining \chapter, I get
the default output.

As Rai and others suggested it is always better to
stick to the default settings since they are the best.
But you can try the possiblities as it is a good
learning experience. 

To get the required effect you can just try  
redefining the \@makechapterhead#1{ of book.cls.
The default setting is raggedright. I found that if
you change that to raggedleft you will get what you
are asking for. Something like this.

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
\begin{document}

% The redefinition of \@makechapterhead

\makeatletter
\def\@makechapterhead#1{%
  \vspace*{50\p@}%
  {\parindent \z@ \raggedleft \normalfont
    \ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne
      \if@mainmatter
        \huge\bfseries \@chapapp\space \thechapter
        \par\nobreak
        \vskip 20\p@
      \fi
    \fi
    \interlinepenalty\@M
    \Huge \bfseries #1\par\nobreak
    \vskip 40\p@
  }}
\makeatother


\chapter{My first chapter}}
\section{Introduction}
Bla..Bla..Bla...

Have a nice time.

With best regards,

Dileep
