Abstract
The motion of a pendulum is described as Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) in case the initial displacement given is small. If we relax this condition then we observe the deviation from the SHM. The equation of motion is non-linear and thus difficult to explain to under-graduate students. This manuscript tries to simplify things.
