  We attempt to see how closely we can formally obtain the planetary and light
path equations of General Relativity by employing certain operations on the
familiar Newtonian equation. This article is intended neither as an alternative
to nor as a tool for grasping Einstein's General Relativity. Though the
exercise is understandable by readers at large, it is especially recommended to
the teachers of Relativity for an appreciative understanding of its peculiarity
as well as its pedagogical value in the teaching of differential equations.
