About the Author

Currently battling his way through St Xavier’s Collegiate School in Kolkata, Anshuman Mohan makes the ‘watch out’ list wherever he goes. His interests range from sports to spelling bee, writing to organizing Facebook movements. A finalist at CNBC Awaaz’s Responsibility aur Rupaiyya and HDFC Standard Life’s Spell Bee in 2009, Anshuman is travelling to Dublin on a students’ exchange programme in summer 2010.
The idea for Potato Chips, Anshuman says, was conceived while wrestling with friends over treats at the school canteen. He finished writing the book when he was thirteen.
