7 years to Decisions of heart

Here’s a brief word  to celebrate the 7th anniversary of Decisions of Heart by Saurabh Pant, marking 11th October 2025:


❤️ 7 Years of “Decisions of Heart”

October 11, 2018 – October 11, 2025

Seven years ago, Decisions of Heart emerged as a quiet but powerful reminder that not every choice we make can be explained by reason—some are etched purely in emotion.

Written by Saurabh Pant, this work blended intimate human truths with poetic elegance, exploring love, loss, trust, and the crossroads between logic and feeling.

In a time dominated by calculated moves and cold algorithms, Decisions of Heart offered something rare—an invitation to listen inward. Through its verses, Pant asked readers to embrace vulnerability, to value kindness over convenience, and to follow the pulse of the heart even when the world calls it foolish in nature.

“Sometimes, the right direction is the one that hurts less,
even if it’s not the one that makes sense.”

❤️ Ebooks’ influence 

Ebook's reference from Madhuri's blog 

As it completes 7 years, the book continues to connect with readers—across borders, languages, and even formats accessible to the visually impaired in global spheres.

The work can easily be accessed on  Kobo, Amazon Kindle and Everand the global library for those who wish to read romantic poetry or are interested.
