Bury my head in the sand:

Means avoiding or ignoring a problem or a difficult situation instead of facing it - like an ostrich hiding by putting its head in the sand.
  • I know my credit card debt is piling up, but instead of making a plan to pay it off, I just keep burying my head in the sand and ignoring the bills.

Cannot get a word in edgewise
You're unable to speak or contribute to a conversation because someone else is talking too much or dominating the discussion. The phrase suggests that it's difficult to find a moment or an opportunity to insert your own thoughts or comments into the ongoing conversation.
  • My Uncle loves to tell stories, and he talks so fast that nobody else can get a word in edgewise.

 Whatever floats your boat

Means do the thing that makes you happy, excited or satisfied even if it's different from what others think.

  • Some people love to read classic literature, while others prefer fantasy novels. Whatever floats your boat.
  • If someone says they're going to take up skydiving, you might respond, "That's a bit extreme for me, but whatever floats your boat".

eat with your eyes

A food's visual appearance, including color, shape, and arrangement, significantly influences how enjoyable and palatable it seems, even before it's tasted. This concept is based on the idea that our visual cues can shape our food preferences and perceptions of taste.

Uditi says, she eats with her eyes and cannot pick something, she did not see before or visualize.

Debbie Downer
a negative or pessimistic person

A person who speaks only of the bad or depressing aspects of something and lessens the enthusiasm or pleasure of others. OK, now I really don't want to sound like a Debbie Downer, but 2018 has not been an easy one, my friends.
