Turn out the lite...by Anderson Digby; 
Nostalgia for Kerala (and its food) by Pete Cherches


Negative Connotations:
1.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.
2.There is a word that usefully captures this trend to the insipid and denatured, and it is "Lite."
3.Lite is insipid, weak, denatured, flat, diluted, and easy: food for cowards and children.
4. He is ignorant, timid, squeamish, and childish.
5.Our religion is insipid and undemanding.


Positive Connotations:
1.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.
2.A Keralan curry gets its name from the aromatic curry leaf, and it's often cooked with onions and tomatoes.
3.Jewtown is full of curio and spice shops, and the smells are wonderful.
4.It's a mannered, gestural, ritualistic dance theatre, similar in some ways to other Asian dance idioms, such as Indonesian and Japanese forms. 
5. The dancers have perfect control of all face and body muscles, and the make-up is striking and elaborate.
