As a child he took private lessons and graduated from Galatasaray High School (1906) and the School of Law (1910). He started his writing career with the humorous review El Üfürük that he published with his friends (1908). Afterwards he published the humorous newspaper Davul.

He published his sketches and articles in newspapers such as Son Posta, Cumhuriyet, Akşam and Vakit, and reviews such as Yeni Mecmua, 7 Gün, Hafta etc. Like Hüseyin Rahmi and Ahmet Rasim, he chose the characters of old İstanbul, the customs and the traditions as his subjects with the only purpose of making people laugh.
