t’s one of the best place to spot stars in Los Angeles. Except they’re all on the ground and you might have to fight an off-brand Elmo or someone’s family’s summer tour group to get a photo with one. If you’re an Angeleno, you may have long thought that the Hollywood Walk of Fame was the worst tourist attraction in America, but now you have the support of Stasher, the global luggage storage network that conducted a study that proves it: The Hollywood Walk of Fame really is that bad.

A flight attendant explains why you don't want to hear the phrase 'easy victor' on board a plane
- Flight attendants seem to have their own language.
- One of the phrases they learn is "easy victor" which means "evacuate."
- According to a former flight attendant, the pilot won't just blurt it out.
- There will be some warning and you'll know there is a problem long before.
- So you shouldn't worry about listening out for it when you're on board, he said.
There are certain phrases only people in the airline industry will understand, because they are used on board flights when most passengers aren't paying much attention.

Hi
Buddha once said… “To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.”
I am reminding myself this again and again. Thoughts and mind control are something I have been experimenting since quite a while and I can say I'm getting better at it. Although I have just begun my journey.
Which brings me to the point of this newsletter. I want to call it 'Begin' because I believe this is something I am beginning as well. I'm beginning to communicate with you in a more relaxed way, sharing things that I am focussing on right now in a monthly newsletter format. Of course, I will continue to be in touch with you in short messaging texts of Whatsapp and Twitter.
Hope my effort to bridge the gap is compensated with this monthly bite. :)
