Horrendous service from @goibibo @GoibiboSupport. Booked a SpiceJet flight 3 weeks ago for an internship on June 3rd. My PNR kept showing "invalid," but I figured it was just too early.
Nope. SpiceJet canceled it a week ago, and Goibibo never sent a single alert....

@AanabSanab @goibibo @GoibiboSupport Happened to me for my Thiland flight. Worst experience 2nd time.

The airlines already sent me confirmation mail or my full refund as this was done by airlines - I have the email as s proof.

@GoibiboSupport Sir help me to get my full refund as the flight got canceled by airlines.

@priyankapudi I'm doing the same. Making mistakes but that's what we can figure it out where we have to focus.

[Prateek🧑‍💻✨️ @prateek_2dev]

@priyankapudi what you think about content creation in 2026. What's your strategy?

[Prateek🧑‍💻✨️ @prateek_2dev]

@priyankapudi True. Ai helps me to niche down the topics and gives better ideas but yeh we have to create stuff and develop critical thinking 🙌

@LionairThai
Hi Sir
We are traveling from India to DMK - it was on 8th June but yesterday we got email that out flight from BOM to DMK has changed to 10th June. But the problem is I had onwards flight on the same day 8th June *Already booked with Thai Lion* from DMK to HKT.

Now as my International flight date got changed I also need to change the date for my Domestic Flight from DMK to HKT on 10th June same flight with same time 12:25 - 13:50. Can you help me with this. as this not our fault and happened by airlines and due to that our Domestic Flight got affected from DMK TO HKT.
Just need to change the date of this flight from 8th June to 10th June with the same time for the onwardsdomestic flings. I have sent emails 100 times.

I never thought
my BIM career would lead me into manufacturing.

For 10+ years,
I was inside the world of BIM.

Models.
Coordination.
Workflows.
Construction logic.
Digital buildings.

Every day I was creating things digitally.

But slowly, one thought kept growing:

“What if I could hold my ideas physically?”

That question changed everything.

BIM taught me something most people miss.

How things are built.

Not just visually.
But structurally.

Dimensions.
Tolerance.
Assembly.
Geometry.
Problem-solving.

Those skills quietly became my advantage.

Because 3D printing is not just about printers.

It’s about thinking in systems.

That’s where my BIM experience became powerful.

While others were learning printers…

I was already trained to think spatially.

Years of BIM gave me:

• Design understanding
• Precision mindset
• Modeling workflow knowledge
• Construction thinking
• Visualization ability

Without realizing it,
BIM was preparing me for manufacturing.

Then came the turning point.

I bought my first 3D printer.

At first, it was curiosity.

Then obsession.

Long print hours.
Failed prints.
Material testing.
Learning layer behavior.
Understanding product feel.
Packaging.
Lighting.
Textures.

Slowly…

Digital ideas started becoming real products.

That’s how Proto Junction was born.

26th January 2026.

Not as a random business idea.

But as a bridge between:

Digital creation
and Physical products

I didn’t want to just print objects.

I wanted to create products
people could actually feel.

Warm lamps.
Architectural forms.
Custom pieces.
Designs with emotion.

Things that start conversations.

The funny part?

Most people think BIM and 3D printing are unrelated.

But for me,

BIM became the foundation.

It trained my brain
to think like a builder.

And 3D printing gave those ideas a physical form.

Proto Junction is still growing.

One print at a time.
One design at a time.
One lesson at a time.

But every product reminds me of something important:

Sometimes your next opportunity
comes from skills you already have.

You just haven’t connected them yet.

From BIM models
to real-world products.

That’s how my journey into 3D printing started. 🚀

@priyankapudi Now I’m also doing that - Learning how to fix the 3D printer by self 😭

[Priyanka Pudi @priyankapudi]

if anyone can learning anything today , the bar is how good you are at that skill

there is no room for the average here,

> pick something
> go deep
> create an impact

make it impossible to ignore you
