I totally agree with you! People ......... I just want to tell you all only one thing - there can never be better gods than parents. Mathru devo bhava, pithru devo bhava! This is our culture and we are not some junglee adam derived products.
And its very well said by the Great Jagadguru Adi Shankara - "Kuputhrobhi jayed kvachidapi kumata pitha na bhavathi"
