Haiko Supermarket has been soft launched in June 2000 with its first outlet at Hiranandani Gardens, Powai, Mumbai.
Did you mean Haiku?
I am sorry I can't resist this and please don't take it wrong. If you do I apologize in advance.
First you look it up
Then spell it right the first time
happiness will be thine
Merry Christmas --=Oletafive=--
edit: I need to explain--I am a notoriously bad speller. When first attended English 101(only after taking English 96--Bonehead English) Sometimes referred to as English for dummies, my very patient teacher said to me. "Raymond there is no shame in being a bad speller, the shame comes from not using the dictionary." (Now I am the husband of the spell checker on my windows explorer toolbar). If I have a lot to write I write it first in MS Word then check everything before I copy and paste it into the DH Post. Hope I have helped lots of people who have spelling troubles. Happy New Year too.

I hope this helps.
Haiku listen is a kind of Japanese poetry. It was given this name the late 17th century by Masaoka Shiki by a combination of the older hokku and the haikai (or verses) in haikai no renga. Haiku, when known as hokku were the opening verses of a linked verse form, haikai no renga. The traditional haiku consisted of a pattern of 5, 7, 5 on. The Japanese word on, meaning ‘sound’, corresponds to a mora, a phonetic unit similar but not identical to the syllable of languages such as English. The words onji (sound symbol) was used incorrectly for a long time and moji is also sometimes used. A haiku may contain a special season word (the kigo) representative of the season in which the renga is set, or a reference to the natural world.
Haiku usually combine three different lines, with a distinct grammatical break, called kireji, usually placed at the end of either the first five or second seven sound units. These two parts of a haiku are called the ‘phrase and the fragment’. In Japanese, there are actual kireji words. In English, kireji is often replaced with commas, hyphens, elipses, or implied breaks in the haiku. These elements of the older haiku are considered by many to be essential to haiku as well, although they are not always included by modern writers of Japanese ‘free-form haiku’ and of non-Japanese haiku. Japanese haiku are typically written as a single line, while English language haiku are traditionally separated into three lines.
‘In Japanese, nouns do not have different singular and plural forms, so ‘haiku’ is usually used as both a singular and plural noun in English as well.

Old guy wants a friend--
Snow falls at my feet-
I am cold standing alone
Share your fire with me!
It expresses the season which is now, winter. But winter is also a time in life, old age. Standing alone says there is no one else (a woman in my case) in my life. And obviously, Share your fire with me is a plea/request/invitation for a woman who is also in old age, alone and cold (lonely) to enter my life with her own and together we will rock each other. Now you are the expert so get writing. --=Oletafive=--
