Maryam: “Hello! I am from Pakistan. As for my goosebumpmoment, I want to share it with you. These days I am watching a historical series based on the life events of a great warrior from Turkey whose name was Ertugrul. The series has a total of 5 seasons. I have watched almost 4 of them. As it is related to Islamic history and the event of life history of the great warrior, it seems very interesting to me. The next thing on the To-Do list is the continuation of the same series. It’s about Ertugruls’ Son, Osman. As you know I am a student of history also, the events seem very interesting and that’s what I like about it. Thank you. Bye.”
