Turn out the lite by Anderson Digby; Nostalgia for Kerala by Pete Cherches

Negative Connotations:
1.    Lite is insipid, weak, denatured, flat, diluted, and easy: food for cowards and children.
2.    The mildest thing one would want to say about this horrid dry pink innovation, which sweated under the grill and fell to bits under the knife, was that it was less than a sausage.
3.    There is a word that usefully captures this trend to the insipid and denatured, and it is "Lite."
4.    Our morality is Lite, childish, and diluted.
5.    He is ignorant, timid, squeamish, and childish. 


Positive Connotations:
1.       Kerala is a success story of the developing world.
2.       The dancers have perfect control of all face and body muscles, and the make-up is striking and elaborate.
3.       It was a lovelyidyllic place, and I felt a bit like Gauguin arriving in Tahiti.
4.       There are beautiful beaches and backwaters, places of great historical interest, reflecting the region's varied colonial past, and an overall sense of contentment and well-being among the people.
5.       Keralan cuisine is one of the world's great culinary secrets.
