During his short span of life he wrote a few short stories, poems and some essays, which can be rated as good, say critics. Abdul Ali gave examples of famous English poets Keats and Shelly, and Emperor Alexander to illustrate that many great people have had a short lifespan in this world. He said more in-depth studies on the boy's poems should be carried out. C P Ravindran said the writings of the child prodigy reminded him of his early days. Children's musings and thoughts are very different from those of adults. Absar's poems shed light on the intricacies of life and death, he said, adding that his revolutionary ideas were promising. His vision of a broad world, where people in the North take care of those in the South, is sound advice for our leaders and politicians, Ravindran said.
