      Initially tried cluing it as cryptic, but the clue was flowing into multiple lines and kept it simple.

    Good grid, Karthikeyan. You have managed to fit in ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY very deftly, if it is a GK clue. Cleve because of the use fo a formula, that could have foxed many. A panggram too ! Loved the idea !
