At least for me that is.  In the literal sense I am prepared as I have my Indian Visa, my shots, and my medication.  But I honestly do not know if I am prepared.  I know India will be unlike anywhere else I have traveled.  I know there will be streets congested with traffic, people, and animals.  I know there will be beauty and colors unlike I have never seen before.  I know there will be a level of poverty and a world of privilege I have never experienced before.  Am I ready?
