"'''Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lying from You'''" is the second single by the rapper [[Jay-Z]] and [[nu metal]], [[alternative rock]]/[[alternative metal|metal]] band [[Linkin Park]]. It is taken from their 2004 mash-up album ''[[Collision Course]]''. The single was released in the next year at the beginning of 2005, then was rereleased in 2006 as well worldwide and was released in 2006 for the video. It is a mash-up of the Jay-Z song "[[Dirt Off Your Shoulder]]" (taken from his 2003 album ''[[The Black Album (Jay-Z album)|The Black Album]]'') and the Linkin Park song "[[Lying from You]]" (taken from their 2003 album ''[[Meteora (album)|Meteora]]''). In the very beginning of the song there is a recording of Linkin Park lead vocalist Chester Bennington saying "I ordered a [[frappuccino]], where's my fucking frappuccino?" [[Mike Shinoda]] kept this and other jokes in the recordings to show the friendly atmosphere of the recording session.

Situated about 12 kilometres to the north of [[Pokhran]], is the village of '''Ramdevra''' known after [[Baba Ramdev]], where he took [[Samadhi]] (conscious exit from the mortal body) in 1458 AD. Ramdeora fair is held every year for ten days, Bhadon Sudi 2 to Bhadon Sudi 11, in August-September to pay homage to the saint. Ramdeora village is in [[Jaisalmer]] district of [[Rajasthan]]. It is one of the famous [[fair]]s in [[Rajasthan]] which is attended by lakhs of devotees who come in large groups from far and wide. These groups organise night long singing of [[bhajan]]s and [[kirtan]]s to pay homage to Baba.
