The Beauties of Friendship by Don Varghese
DEAR ALL,
"A Friend" The first person who comes in when the�
whole world has gone out.
A bank or credit on which we can draw supplies�
of confidence, counsel, sympathy, help and love.
One who combines for you alike the pleasures�
and�benefits�of society and solitude.
A jewel whose�luster�the strong acids of�
�poverty and misfortune cannot dim.
One who multiplies joys, divides griefs, and�
whose honesty is inviolable.
One who loves the truth and you, and will tell�
the truth�in spite�of you.
The triple alliance of the three great powers,�
�Love, Sympathy, and Help.
A watch which beats true for all time,�
and never "runs down."
A permanent fortification when one's affairs�
are in a state of siege.
One who to himself is true, and�
therefore must be so to you.
A balancing pole to him who walks�
across the tight rope of life.
The link in life's long chain that�
bears the greatest strain.
A harbor of refuge from the stormy�
waves of adversity.
One who considers my need�
before my deserving.
The jewel that shines brightest in the darkness.
A stimulant to the nobler side of our nature.
A star of hope in the clouds of adversity.
A diamond in the ring of�acquaintance.
A volume of sympathy bond in cloth.
Friendship-one soul in two bodies.
An insurance against misanthropy.
One truer to me than I am myself.
One who understands our silence.
A link of gold in the chain of life.
The essence of pure devotion.
The sunshine of calamity.
A second right hand.�
Ten Best friendship quotes

Chevrolet Beat Diesel Launched
A hatchback that established an absolutely refreshing sense of style through its unconventional, but bold design, the Chevrolet Beat being sold for over two years now in its 1.2 liter 4 cylinder petrol engine is a car with complete balance in performance, style and comfort.
However, seeing the growing demand for diesel cars in the country, GM has now introduced a diesel version of its Beat model, for which a lower capacity engine was specially designed for India application by GM Technical Center India and GM Power-train Europe.
Giving the Chevrolet Beat Diesel life is an all-new 936cc, 3-cylinder diesel engine that pumps out 58.5 PS of power @ 4,000 Rpm as compared to the petrol's 80-odd horses. But while, the power output on this new oil mill may seem a bit inadequate, a robust diesel torque of 150 Nm @ 1750 Rpm and its ARAI certified mileage of 24 km/ltr makes this stylish hatch, a real value for money proposition.
This engine is India specific, and it's not available anywhere else in the world for now. It is set to be the smallest diesel in the Indian passenger car space yet. Although, the overall design and interiors of the Beat Diesel remains identical to its petrol sibling, some minor changes on the new oil burner include its tyre width, that has been downsized from a 170-section on the petrol to a 165-section on the diesel, on identical 14-inch wheels.
The new Chevrolet Beat Diesel TCDi will be available to interested buyers in four variants, starting with the base PS model for 4.29 lakh, the LS for 4.59 lakhs, the LT for 4.99 lakhs and finally the top end LT (optional package) vairant for 5.45 lakhs (all prices are ex-showroom Delhi). GM India is also offering its buyers 3 years or 1 lakh kilometers warranty with the purchase of this car.
