1. Tell your aunt or uncle "You're the most generous person I know." They'll be forced to live up to it ;)
2. Touch their feet a 100 times and ask for aashirvad each time. They'll have to give you some money each time :D
3. Make a bet with your Uncle that your crackers will burst before his for 500 bucks. Dip his cracker in water beforehand ;)
4. Explain how auspicious a day it is, and that if they give you money this Diwali, it'll come back to them 10 folds next year
5. Tell them you're collecting cash so that you can distribute free sweets and crackers to street kids
6. Tell them "Don't take the trouble to give me anything, The other aunty already gave me 1000 bucks" Their competitive spirit will force them to give you more than that
7. When your relatives come to visit, wear very old clothes. "Beta, where are your new clothes?" Say you don't have any and they'll give you money
8. Say "Don't give me any gifts this time uncle. Give it to me in cash instead so that I learn to save"
9. When your relatives are staying at your place approach your uncle or aunt on a lazy afternoon and say, "I need 500 bucks and mom and dad are sleeping"
They obviously won't ask your parents back for the money. Even if they do, you still have the money :D
10. Organise a intra-family Rangoli competition. Be the only participant and win the money! :)
