Data has been analyzed at Pakistani English/ New English used by Bapsi Sidhwa in her novel of partition "Ice- Candyman" by Bapsi Sidhwa and "Twilight in Delhi" by Ahmad Ali. This study aims to show the aspects of Pakistani/New English: code-mixing, code-switching, neologism, transliteration, untranslated words and translation. Lexico grammar has also been discussed as used by Bapsi Sidhwa in her "Ice-candyman": code-switching and code-mixing is not at all grammarless phenomenon New English used by the writer is as a non-native variety. Creativity in the form of bilingualism and multilingualism is an integral part of bringing change in English varieties.
