The Path I Didn't Plan
​A journey through unravelling, remembrance, and return.
What if the life you built no longer fits the soul you carry? What if success, once your compass, begins to point you home?
Book Overview
There comes a moment in every life when achievement begins to echo, and the applause fades into questions you can no longer outrun.
The Path I Didn’t Plan is the story of that moment. It is a deeply human journey, from outward success to inward stillness, from certainty to surrender, from striving to meaning.
With honesty and heart, Imraan Soomra traces the quiet unravelling of a life built on performance, and the grace that met him in its undoing.
This is a book about becoming whole again. It's not a manual for success. It's an invitation: to pause, to listen, to soften, and to return to what has always been waiting...your true self.
"This is a book of awakenings. I never set out to write it. I set out to breathe again, to live again, to remember who I was beneath the titles and the roles. If anything here echoes in your own heart, then this book has served it's purpose." - Imraan
Excerpts
Because in the middle of a global crisis, when every part of me should have been consumed by survival, I felt something else rise to the surface: purpose. Real, soul-anchored purpose. The kind that makes you forget the “role” and remember the reason. The kind that tells you, this is what you are meant to do — to see people, to be seen by them, and to create spaces where dignity becomes the soil for everything else to grow.
