I agree with much of what DanaC says about the terminology 'Paki' , and I do not find the fact that someone has suffered from broken glass in the anus remotely amusing . It does not matter how the glass got there .
For those of you who read literature and who are interested in thinking in general , and thinking in particular about the complexity of being both British and linked to the Indian sub-continent , may I suggest the fine contemporary writer Hanif Kureishi . You could perhaps start with 'Buddha in Suburbia ' .
Hanif Kureishi is far more interesting and amusing than a broken light-bulb .
