instead of:
desired_keys = ['address' , 'zipcode' , 'city' , 'country']
local_array = session_user.attributes.select{|key,value| desired_keys.include?(key) }
local_hash = Hash[*local_array.flatten]

you can use:
# ‘name’, ‘id’ – fields that you don’t wanna to see in `local_hash`
local_hash = session_user.attributes.except(‘name’, ‘id’)
