Early life
Muhammad Younis Butt was born in Gujranwala, a city in Punjab Province renowned for its healthy food and enriched culture, on 4 January 1962. Majority of the people belonging to Gujranwala are indulged in the sports of Desi wrestling (kushti) as their cultural and folk activity due to their exaggerated dairy and meat diet. Muhammad Younis Butt later reveled in his book Not A Listening Matter: “…when I was in my early hood doctors advised me in relation to my physical slim appearance that I should not participate in wrestling in fact he suggested that slim persons like me can even-it-out by just watching the game twice a day!”
Versatility In career
Butt knew that his urge to understand human nature will one day abridge his journey to give art lovers what they deem to get. Psychology would have been a one stop solution to all this until he realized that in order to understand human nature you first need to understand human. This thought laid the foundation of his versatile professional evolution. He initiated with the Studies of MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) from King Edward Medical College and after completion of the degree he served the nation as a doctor for several years. This helped him a lot to understand human nature and was a step closer to his ultimate goal. During his student life he was involved in many dramatic/theater-based activities and initiated working on his comedy books.
