Los Angeles, April 19. 2009
By Dilip Butani
21 years old and highly talented, Vijay Vaswani is much different
than the youth today. His values, vision and future aspirations
differ from the status quo. He is a simple person who finds pleasures
in the simplest things in life.
His interests vary from philosophy, spirituality and politics
to dancing, singing and acting. He is also interested in poetry,
creative & song writing, graphic design, art-construction,
sculpture and sports like tennis, swimming, golf and basketball.
Last but not the least, as a lover of music he likes to play dholak
and harmonium and is learning sitar & guitar.

His political ideologies also differ from the stereotype of the
youth and general population. Though his personal beliefs are
somewhat conservative; he is more of a moderate. He is a social
liberal and a fiscal & economic conservative. He affiliates
himself with the American Independent Party. He likes to be considered
a well- rounded person who is open-minded and versatile. He is
a deep person at heart who is strong on family values. He believes
in ‘Justice’ and likes to follow Righteousness’.
His various accomplishments include dancing and & choreographing
over 30 top performances at places like UCLA, Cal State Northridge
and LA Pierce College. He has twice appeared on Television; the
shows being ‘Hafla’ and ‘Destined to be. He
has served as Political Campaign manger and is two-time ‘Dean’s
List Recipient’ and has also been awarded with a certificate
as the ‘Most Inspirational Senior’.
He feels that one must do everything in one’s ability to
leave a mark in society. At present he attends Cal State University
Northridge with an intended major of Business Administration and
a minor in Political Science.
His future aspirations include entertaining people across the
world, by singing, dancing and acting in movies, shows and events.
He aims at starting his own political, philosophical and television
show with a young, ethnic and independent perspective and also
plans to run for political office to remove government’s
strong involvement in people’s lives and to eliminate the
fanatical religious voices that is trying to be imbedded in our
society.
In conclusion, he enjoys doing everything and almost anything
as long as they are done in moderation. He is a type of person
that can learn to appreciate all of life’s gifts. To him
there is no such thing as perfection; only God is perfect. He
firmly believes that living each day, learning and improving from
one another, self- awareness and acknowledgement of ones mistakes
and genuine love can surely get everyone closer.
