Abhivyakti ...
It holds the purpose of inspiring the amateur artists, the legends of tomorrow and to give them strength for keeping their fire burning.
It stands for the cause of giving a platform to budding theatre artists whose energy is seeking a vent to flow out.
Abhivyakti the two day theatre festival which was held on 5-6th march 2005, during which the theatre hungry janta of IT & varanasi witnessed two major plays performed at their very own ‘Swatantrata Bhawan’ and 'Sen Gupta Hall [G-11]'.

A little about Abhivyakti by Varun Grover [CIV 03] who visited the campus to be it's part ....
Ghadi mein kuchh 6 bajkar 40 minute huye they aur Banaras ki subah abhi jag hi rahi thi...jab maine phir se uss paawan dharti par...(Paawan nahin, Paa-Two kahiye..itni zyada fundoo thi)...kadam rakha.
Snaan-vnaan karke seedha pahuncha SB jahaan par 8 baje se poori team jamaa honi thi aur zara sochiye...sochiye-sochiye....ki sabse late kaun pahuncha...?? Jee haan...aapka yeh reporter Varun Grover !! Apne poore theatre career mein yeh pehla din tha jab mere se pahle wahaan poori team jamaa thi...(Haalanki mere late hone ke kaaran main Sequel ke liye bacha ke rakhoonga..'Aisa kya tha jo Varun late pahuncha...? Woh kaunsi taakat thi jisne Varun ko SB pahunchne se roka..? Dekhiye, Part-2 mein..!')
Anyways, sabka mood full enthu mein tha...par Sushant Kumar jitne cool lagne chahiye utne nahin lag rahe they...reason - pichhli shaam ki rehearsal mein unka kharaab performance! Par poore theatre group ki duaaein, aur 2 mahine ki practice unke saath thi aur shaam hote hote sirf ek hi dar rah gaya tha...(wahi dar jise har theatre waale ne jeeya hai...nahin, main 'on-stage thappad' ki baat nahin kar raha hoon...!) Woh dar tha...Janta aayegi ya nahin.
Play ki timing thi 5 baje ki...aur 530 baje hall mein kareeb 200 log aa chuke they..! ske baad cheap-guest saahab ne ek bhaashan-type dene ki koshish-type ki aur janta ne hooting-type-taaliyaan bajaayi. Ab tak 6 baj gaye aur janta double ho gayi...kareeb 500 log ab intezaar mein they ki adaalat lagegi ki nahin...!
'Khamosh...Adalat Jaari Hai' shuru hua aur mere plan ke tahat Anshu and Music team ko stage ke peechey nahin, aage (yani ki SB ke stage ke neeche, left side mein) baithaya gaya. Reason - Taaki Anshu bhi play dekh kar sahi time pe baja sake aur main bhi aaraam se play dekh sakoon! Shadow-play pe ek chhota sa choreo with Anshu ka song started the play and directed by Ruchika Agarwal (3rd Chem), this went absolutely great...! Junta wahin se samajh gayi ki kuchh fundoo hone waala hai..aur uske baad huyi Subhash Gupta and Swati ki entry.
Bhole-bhaale graamin ke roop mein Subhash Gupta ne ek baar phir apni abhinay-pratibha ki bhayankar chhaap chhodi...aur Swati ka toh kya kehna...! Naatak ke jiss hisse mein usse khamosh rehna tha (which was a lot of part in the act 2 and 3), usmein bhi usne apni aankhon se aisa rang bhara ki professionalism ek level apne aap hi uth gayi...! Sushant Singh, jo ki ek kaale-choge aur Kaale-dil ke vakeel Kashyap bane they, na jaane kahaan se (ya phir shayad apne andar se hi...:D :D) itna kameenapan lekar aaye ki janta hat-prabh rah gayi..! Sushant Singh ka role jahaan se shuru hua, wahin se janta ke involvement mein bhi jaan si aa gayi...aur janta ne uske ek-ek jhatke, ek-ek shabd ko dhyaan se pakda aur achha response diya..
Alok Awasthi as Mr. Kashikar was absolutely rocking aur unhone bhi spont-pane ke aise namoone diye ki poore hall mein har thodi der baad koi thahaka ya phir koi taaliyon ki goonj, goonj padti thi..! Mrs. Kashikar ke roop mein Gargi naamak 2nd year ki kalaakara ne sabse zyada taaliyaan batori. Mrs. Kashikar ek aisi ladiez thi jo mauka milte hi bahut aggressive ho jaati hain...aur baat baat mein - 'Kyun ree Leela..? Jaati kahaan hai..?' (Leela was Swati), chillati hain...! Tede mooh, paan-dabaaye, aur jalan evam puraane khyalon se sarabor character ko Gargi ne apni surili aawaaz mein ek alag hi andaaz de diya.
Sidharth Gupta jo ki ismein ek Theatre actor Kartik ke role mein they, ne bhi janta ko khoob hansayaa aur ek shaandaar spont bhi maara (Kya maara, woh part 2 mein! :D :D). Pulkit Bhaai, scientist Sinha ke role mein superb rahe aur woh serious look ke liye unhone shayad kaafi dino se apna bearded look bhi sambhaale rakha (ya ho sakta hai Abhivyakti convenor hone ki wajah se time na mila ho shave karne ka...!!).
3rd Mining ke Nalin Tiwari, jo ki Balu ke role mein they, unhein bhi khoob saraahna mili aur milord, please note ki saare posters par jo shandar kavitayein likhi gayi thi, woh Nalin Bhaai ne hi likhi thi...! And i must say...sab ki sab ultimate thi...!
Baad ka janta ka reaction bhi ultimate tha aur Diro saahab (SNU) bhi dekhne aa pahunche they...! Kaafi saari sankhya mein Profs aur non-it janta bhi thi...! And everybody gave a standing ovation when the team came on stage...! Singers Radha (2nd Pharma) and Sushant Joshi (4th yr, i-am-sorry-dont-know-which-engineering) were at Music with Anshu and did a great job. And yes, 4th Cera ke Anurag Gupta saahab ne acting ke alawa play mein sab kuchh karwaaya....arranging for local funds, to sets, to camera recording, to press, to publicity, to moral support....and a host of other stuff..!
Abhi bahut saari khabarein baaki hain, including the Grand Finale called Sir...Sir...Sarla par woh sab, aur iss play ki bhi kucch inside reports, in part 2...
