Doctors in India, like elsewhere, are on the front lines fighting the pandemic, and they are often working around the clock.
"The anxiety and stress levels at work are immense," said Kavitha Joshi, a 30-year-old critical care resident at a private hospital in the Indian capital, Delhi.
Ms.Joshi spoke to the Humans of Delhi blog, which was inspired by Humans of New York.
"But through this tough journey, I have had the help of one truly kind soul," she said.
Her landlady, Devi Paatak, has been cooking her meals every day, so she has a plate of hot food waiting for her when she returns home, exhausted, from work.
The two women have become good friends, as Mrs.Paatak also lives alone.
"I'm glad I could capture our moment of camaraderie this morning," says Dr Kavitha of the selfie that has made it to the popular blog. And, as you can see, they are social distancing in this "Vitamin D selfie", as Ms.Joshi and Mrs.Paatak refer to it.
Dr Joshi says she feels especially lucky and grateful because one of her friends, who is also a doctor, was asked by her landlord to vacate her home. Several doctors and nurses in India have complained of this, saying landlords and neighbours were afraid of contracting the virus from them.
"Mrs Paatak has been a remarkable human being, the kind that the world needs in such times," Dr.Joshi said.
"Kindness in words create confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love"
