July 2023 Archive: Highlights from VKA Lathur Express
July was a busy month on VKA Lathur Express. We covered everything from personal growth tips in Pune to big policy shifts and deep dives into India’s past. Below is a quick run‑through of the stories that sparked the most conversation.
Life Coaching & Community Updates
If you’re looking for a push forward, our post on the best life coaches in the Pune area was a hit. We talked about three standout options: Sajid Khan, who rearranges life’s furniture with energetic flair; Dr. Paras, the Yoda‑like mentor who cuts through the noise; and the husband‑wife duo Harsha and Priyanka, the power couple that makes personal transformation feel as easy as brewing tea. Readers loved the real‑world examples and the clear takeaways on how each coach can help you set goals, stay accountable, and break old habits.
Another hot topic was the surprising announcement that there would be **no Maratha quota** in jobs and admissions this year. The decision sent shockwaves through the community, and our article broke down what the change means for job seekers, college applicants, and anyone watching the policy landscape. We highlighted the immediate impact on reservation seats, the legal debates that might follow, and practical steps people can take to adjust their plans.
Historical Snapshots from India
History lovers weren’t left out. One piece explored what was happening in India when Jesus was born (around 4 BC to 2 BC). While the Western world was focusing on a new messiah, India was thriving under the Maurya Empire. We mentioned Emperor Ashoka’s push for Buddhism, the flourishing Southern kingdoms of Chera, Chola, and Pandya, and the cultural bloom that set the stage for centuries of art and literature.
We also tackled a question that pops up a lot: how long did people live in ancient India? The answer isn’t a neat number, but we shared the consensus that average life expectancy hovered around 30‑40 years, mainly because of high infant mortality and limited medical care. Still, we pointed out extraordinary cases of sages and scholars who lived into their 80s and 90s, showing that longevity was possible for the privileged or exceptionally healthy.
All four posts share a common thread – they each break down a complex subject into bite‑size, practical info that you can use right away. Whether you’re hunting a new coach, figuring out a quota change, or just curious about India’s golden ages, July’s archive gives you solid, easy‑to‑read answers.

From my research on ancient India, it appears the average life expectancy was considerably lower than what we experience today. Many sources suggest it was around 30-40 years, mainly due to the lack of advanced medical care and high infant mortality rates. Despite this, there are records of individuals, particularly sages and scholars, living well into their 80s and 90s. However, these were exceptions, not the norm. Overall, life in ancient India was tough and often short-lived, but it was also filled with rich culture and intellectual growth.
