Well-known English comedian Stephen Fry has been inspired to be an 'adarsh balak' (an ideal boy) after coming across the poster at his doctor's office.

Fry who has been the part of the comedic duo Fry and Laurie, with Hugh Laurie (well known for the show House), tweeted on Saturday about the poster.

Most Indians who were born until the 90s remember the 'Adarsh Balak poster' from their childhood. The posters were mandatory stationery in many schools. There is also a Facebook meme on the Adarsh Balak series

Here is what Fry tweeted after finding the poster at his doctor's place:

Decidedly odd of my doctor to hang this in his surgery. I've tried to live up to it though. Haven't managed to "Pray Almighty" or "Join NCC", otherwise I'm getting there. pic.twitter.com/Dl52jaqang

NRIs were quick to point about that Fry's doctor was Indian or of Indian origin.

Who is this desi doctor?

We had these charts in India when I was a girl. They now have nostalgia/kitsch value. Is your doctor Asian?
— Nayanika (@nayanikaaa)

is your doctor Indian, by any chance? This what they put up in class when I was a school and we had to buy it at stationery shops to cut out and stick in scrap books for "moral science"

Your doctor must be Indian .. 😂

Jesus Christ. I NEVER in a million years would have imagined you, Stephen, sharing an Āadarsh Bāalak chart. This is peak Indian school stationery we'd have to buy for primary school projects, etc. I'm so thrilled that your doctor would have it.😅😅😅
(feel better)

Good news that India has persuaded Stephen Fry to bathe daily, take part in sports and brush up his teeth. https://t.co/0j2GPU93NF

Stephen Fry even managed to dig up the 'Bad Habits' chart.

What is the girl’s version of it, I wonder!!!
