This study presents an analysis of Urdu-English code-switching and code-mixing in the context of aspects of English. 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. Aspects of Pakistani English have also been connected with the basic post-colonial technology showing major themes of the Novel "Ice-candyman".
