  2. Dear Col, an unusual request from me (lamboo@gmail.com). I had paid for an annual overseas subscription in early May 2020. There were login problems on some days in late May. BUT now for the past week I am again unable to login. Have sent many emails to support.crossword@thehindu.co.in for the attention of one B.Rajesh. But none of my emails have been answered. Today is the 6th consecutive day I am without my usual THC. This is frustrating.
    Sitting in Dubai I am helpless. I do not have their phone number.
    Please, can you or any member help me by contacting The Hindu?
    The subscription is in the name of R.Sudarshan Chari; and email is lamboo@gmail.com

    1. I don't think anyone will reply to Supportcrossword. Try sending it to customer support. You can get the correct e mail ID from their website. When you do that mark a copy to me -padmanabhan.pb@gmail.com. I will try to contact them on phone after receiving it.
