The Unfiltered Kaapi

Hi! We’re Vaishnavi & Karthick, an Indian couple living in Sydney, Australia.

This channel is our way of sharing the beauty in everyday life; from slow mornings and quick dinners to weekend adventures, home projects, South Indian rituals, and everything in between.

Expect vlogs, recipes, gardening updates, camping stories, and glimpses of our life as we balance work, family, fun, and figuring things out one day at a time. It’s not perfect, but it’s honest and ours.

If you enjoy real, intentional living with a touch of South Indian warmth, you’ll feel right at home here 🤍

Our Seemantham & Valaikaapu series officially begins. 🌸

First up, the flower market trip.

Before the ceremony, before the sarees and bangles, there were buckets of flowers coming home with us.

Full vlog is now up on our channel. 🤍

The TTC video so many of you have been asking about is finally live 🎉

I broke down all 4 cycles; the data, the tracking, the hormones, the supplements and what actually led to our positive test in cycle 4. This is the most detailed video we've made and I genuinely hope it helps someone who's in the middle of this right now.
OPKs, BBT, EWCM, LH surge, luteal phase, I cover all of it in plain language so it actually makes sense.
Go watch and let me know your questions in the comments 👇

First day of work (in 2026) and after a 2 week break.. here’s the recap my camera roll deserves.

Two weeks off and we managed temple days, beach air, brunch stops, and a whole website launch like it was a casual hobby 😎

Hope you all had a good break too ❤️

The Unfiltered Kaapi

A weekend with gym, mowing, briyani, editing, temple, two coffees and way too many steps… and somehow this is all that made it to the dump.
The rest stayed offline because it looked like real life 😅

What was the best part of your weekend?

The Unfiltered Kaapi

A Deepavali weekend that started with prasadam and ended with biryani under fairy lights (and a candle) ✨

Somewhere in between were temple visits, tofu pulav, street fest strolls, and a weekend that felt full and fulfilling 🪔💛

Weekend - 11/10/2025 & 12/10/2025

We made snacks, took long walks, called retail therapy “steps,” and finished a movie in 3 sittings 😌
Still productive in our own way.

Sweets video went up last Friday, savouries yesterday; both on YouTube if you’re catching up before Diwali ✨

How long did it take you to finish your last movie? 😅

Spring showed up and so did we 🌸
Blooms, bindis, bakshanam, hosting, steps, September had it all.

The reach didn’t match the effort, but that’s okay.
We’re still here… creating, sharing, and showing up with love for what we do 💛

Let us know how was your September?

The Unfiltered Kaapi

This weekend was a mix of all our selves.

🍲 The routine us: Saturday full meals, gym, long walks, and laundry piles.
☕ The “let’s go out” us: new café, briyani lunch, Sunday OOTDs.
🛒 The “quick stop” us: was meant to be just fuel, but ended up shopping at Costco and a Lindt detour.
🥘 The grown-up us: meal prep to keep weekdays less dramatic.

Messy mix, but feel relaxed. How was yours?

August felt slow, but it had its little wins ✨

🌿 Karthick kept healing and even made it back to the gym
🚶🏽‍♀️ Movement turned out better than I expected, 24 days out of 31
💻 Tried my first IG live, was nervous no one would join… but you did
🌸 Picked 1 guava, a cauliflower, a few snowpeas, and planted new friends like roses and hydrangeas
🙏🏽 3 temple visits this month, which is a record for us. We usually only do 1
🍫 Ate our way through festive food, Dubai chocolate, and everything in between

Not busy, but still grateful 💛

What did August look like for you?

The Unfiltered Kaapi

This weekend had it all:

Filming on Saturday 🎥
Editing and posting on Sunday ✨
Filming again on Sunday 🌿
Wholesome food: venpongal + sambhar, soft idli for dinner, biryani for Sunday lunch 🍲
Tiramisu for dessert (lived up to the hype) 🍰
Some grocery shopping 🛒
Car wash that didn’t cost >$300 🚙
No workouts, no full movies… just plenty of busy moments that made two days feel far too short.+

Did someone say 4-day work week? Because even with one, it never feels enough 😅
