Song Lyrics
Dekho Inhein Yeh Hain Aas Ki Boondein
Patton Ki God Mein Aasmaan Se Koodein
Aandayee Lein Phir Karwat Badal Kar
Nazuk Se Moti Hans De Phisal Kar

Kho Na Jaaye Ye Taare Zameen Par

Yeh To Hain Sardi Mein Dhoop Ki Kirane
Utarein Jo Aangan Ko Sunhera Sa Karne
Mann Ke Aandheron Ko Roshan Sa Kar Dein
Thithurti Hatheli Ki Rangat Badal Dein

Kho Na Jaaye Ye Taare Zameen Par

Jaise Aankhon Ki Dibiya Mein Nindiya
Aur Nindiya Mein Meetha Sa Sapna
Aur Sapne Mein Mil Jaaye Farishta Sa Koi
Jaise Rangon Bhari Pichkari
Jaise Titliyan Phoolon Ki Kyari
Jaise Bina Matlab Ka Pyara Rishta Ho Koi

Yeh To Aasha Ki Lehar Hain
Yeh To Ummeed Ki Sehar Hain
Khusiyon Ki Nehar Hain

Kho Na Jaaye Ye Taare Zameen Par

Dekho Raaton Ke Seeney Pe Yeh Toh
Jhilmil Kisi Lau Se Ugey Hain
Yeh To Amboya Ki Khusboo Hain
Baagon Se Beh Chale
Jaise Kaanch Mein Choodi Ke Tukde
Jaise Khiley Khiley Phoolon Ke Mukhdey
Jaise Bansi Koi Bajaye Pedon Ke Taley

Yeh To Jhonke Hain Pawan Ke
Hain Yeh Ghungharoo Jeewan Ke
Yeh To Sur Hain Chaman Ke

Kho Na Jaaye Ye Taare Zameen Par

Muhaley Ki Raunak
Galiyan Hain Jaise
Khilney Ki Zid Par
Khaliyan Hain Jaise
Muthi Mein Mausam Ki
Jaise Hawayein
Yeh Hain Buzurgon Ke
Dil Ki Duwayein

Kho Na Jaaye Ye Taare Zameen Par

Kabhi Baatein Jaise Dadi Nani
Kabhi Chalkein Jaise Mum Mum Paani
Kabhi Ban Jaaye Bhole
Sawaalon Ki Jhadi
Sannatey Mein Hansee Ke Jaise
Sooney Hothon Pe Khushi Ke Jaise
Yeh To Noor Hain Barse Gar
Teri Kismat Ho Badi

Jaise Jheel Mein Lehraye Chanda
Jaise Bheed Mein Apne Ka Kandha
Jaise Manmauji Nadiya
Jhaag Udaye Kuch Kahe
Jaise Baithe Meethi Si Jhapki
Jaise Pyar Ki Dheemi Si Thapki
Jaise Kaanon Mein Sargam
Hardam Bajti Hi Rahe
Jaise Barkha Udati Hai Bundiya

Song Lyrics 
Sooraj jaise chamkenge
Dekhe hain saadi akhiyan ne
Eh sapne ambraan de X 2

Boond boond jodenge pal pal
Door door beh jaayenge
Phir naal samandran de X 2

Assi aithe khade
Hai jaana pare
Na kam humko tol

Assi zidd te ade
Junooni bade
Eh dil ke ne bol

Ek jindri meri
Sau khwahishaa
Ek ek main poori karaan 

Ek jindari meri
Sau khwahishan
Mushkil humein rokna

Shehron jaise ban jaayenge
Lagde ne jo chhote chhote
Eh raste galiyan de X 2

Phoolon ki tarah mehkenge
Hauley hauley yaaron
Ek din mausam galiyan de
Eh mausam galiyan de

Abhi na jaane koi
Pehchaane koi
Hai kya apna mol

Assi zidd te ade
Janooni bade
Eh dil ke ne bol

Ek jinadri meri
Sau khwahishan
Ek ek main poori karaan

Ek jinadri meri
Sau khwahishan
Mushkil hamein rokna

Raat hai kajle waali
Door badi diwali
Dive dhoondhe akhiyaan

Dil waale ghonsle mein
Panchi banange yaaron
Humne ummeedan rakhiyan

Maine haaran nahi hai
Chahe kuch bhi kare duniya

Song Lyrics 
Rock a bye baby
Rock a bye baby
My blue eyed son
Hush a bye baby
Don't you cry baby
My blue eyed son

They say
Oh that what you give is yours
Khele godi mein chanda re
In the middle of the night
I still think of you

I see you in my eyes
How will I get through
All I can say is I'm sorry

Oh my blue eyed son X 2

Rock a bye baby X 3

Mere hote tujhpe main
Aanch na aane doon
Khushiyon ki dopehri ki
Saanjh na aane doon

Gagan ki jhalar mein
Jitne sitaare hain
Teri hi toh mutthi mein
Simte woh saare hain kyun

Rona tujhe aaya hai
Kisne sataya hai
Kahe murjhaya hai tu
Meri muskaan lele
Apne shikan dede
Naram chhuan lele tu

De de khushboo
Aur gulsitaan le le tu

Rock a bye baby X 2

My blue eyed son

Hush a bye baby
Don't you cry baby
My blue eyed son

They say
Oh that what you give is yours
In the middle of the night
I still think of you
I see you in my eyes
How will I get through
All I can say is I'm sorry

Oh my blue eyed son X 6

"Sarcasm and Neurodiversity" from "Young Sheldon"


A small interaction between Sheldon and Dr. Linkletter from "Young Sheldon Season 06 Episode 15". 

Are you working in an inclusive education set-up? 
This short clip will help you understand and appreciate how different children perceive sarcasm. Some children, during an interaction, tend to focus merely on the literal meaning of words being spoken to them and miss out on reading the non verbal cues, sub-text, gestures or body language of the person interacting with them. Thereby might experience difficulty in making complete sense of the situation or receiving the intended message from the conversation.

Orienting and helping children figure out different types of facial expressions (emotions), voice tones, sub-text, body movements/gestures, and background score is the first step towards enabling them to connect or match words being spoken with non-verbal cues of the speaker to better understand or make sense of a situation or conversation. 

Series Synopsis and Details
Young Sheldon is an American coming-of-age sitcom television series created by Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro. The series is a spin-off prequel to The Big Bang Theory that takes place during the late 1980s and early 1990s and follows child prodigy Sheldon Cooper as he grows up with his family in East Texas.
