The pandemic has turned everyone's lives upside down. It's been almost an entire year and people have struggled a lot, and so many people's sources of income got disrupted.

On one hand, it's wise to keep outings to a minimum to help reduce the spread of coronavirus, but on the other hand, so many businesses depend on customers actually coming out and purchasing goods and services. 

It's a complicated situation and people are still trying to figure out a balance.

Restaurants have suffered quite a bit since the lockdown last year as a lot of people still avoid dining out. 

However, an eatery in Pune has come up with a unique solution to boost its business during such trying times.

Shivraj Hotel, located in the Wadgaon Maval area in the outskirts of Pune, started a Bullet Contest where the reward is obviously a Bullet bike.

Basically, the contest entails participants finishing a non-veg thali within 60 minutes. 

Those who can complete the feat will have a chance to win a Bullet bike worth Rs 1.65 lakh. Pretty sweet deal, right?

The Bullet Thali in question is a non-vegetarian platter consisting of around 12 dishes made with 4 kilograms of mutton and fish. 

The dishes include Fried Surmai, Pomfret Fried Fish, Chicken Tandoori, Dry Mutton, Grey Mutton, Chicken Masala, and Kolumbi (Prawn) Biryani. 

The cost of each thali is Rs 2,500.

Atul Waikar, the owner of Shivraj Hotel, has placed five brand new Royal Enfield Bullet bikes in the verandah of the restaurant. If that's not motivation, then I don't know what is?

There's already been a winner; Somnath Pawar, a resident of Solapur district in Maharashtra, finished a Bullet Thali and took home a Bullet. 

Lucky man, getting rewarded for eating, living the dream life.
