The short clip spanning for about 10 seconds has been posted on Instagram from the official handle of “houseofhighlihts” with the caption “Instant Karma”. The video shows numerous contenders fueled by the desire to triumph, sprinting towards the finish line and dedicating their best to the running sport. 

Towards the end of the video, three runners emerged as the front-runners and were only a mere heartbeat away from touching the finish line. It is at this crucial moment when fate takes center stage. The leading runner exhibits a ‘V-sign’ to his opponents, displaying his confidence. However, soon, the invisible hands of fate intervened, and immediately, the runner stumbled and fell down, and eventually, the illusion of confidence evaporated.
