The Equation of my Love and its Parameters, written by Vikram Rana, is a fiction novel and his only novel till date.It is based upon the life of a student-from his adolescent love, through his college years and then finally a life changing internship. With a good use of words, the author makes every scene easily comprehensible and one could get a walk through the corridors of the college barely through imagination. The language used was very good i.e.neither a layman's nor a scholar's, understood by all age groups. The novel contains innocence of adolescent love, the madness and responsibilities of a college life, the jitters of getting an internship in a completely new place and holding on to your love and friendship through thick and thin.It has all the elements concerned with the life of today's youth. The narration of the story is carried out through a character Shayan Malik, the protagonist, who had head over heels fallen for his classmate Naina. Though he had to bid adieu to her for his engineering in one of the IIT's, they were reunited in a surprisingly unexpected situation. The first half of the novel comprise comprises a walk down his memory lane, and then his college years with unexpected events.Its only in the second half of the story that life takes him on a roller-coaster ride. Overall, the novel is a really good one with the characters nicely sketched.On the part of a novice, Rana's work is a praiseworthy one.
