L1B Blanket - 2nd time - Approved
I had applied in April and got rejected. I understood that my approach was wrong last time.
I had picked up a wrong industry standard technology last time, and got rejected.
This time I was well prepared, Thanks to this forum

I had my interview this time at 10 AM, which is a better time than the last one (730 AM).
I was very tensed but managed to keep my tension within me and kept smiling.
I was there at the consulate by 935 AM and was happy to see a small line. Even though I was in and done with the initial two counters by 950 AM, I had to wait for almost an hour before I was allowed to go into the visa interview building.
I think since it is a rainy season, people are not kept outside waiting and are brought in and made to wait inside.

Soon after I entered the 2nd building, I had a sense of comfort. Most people were going out smiling. So I had a feeling it was a good day. That kind of boosted my confidence. Once i had given my DD, I waited for another 30-40 mins, and finally I was called at 1145 AM.

I was happy to see the VO, as he seemed to be nice and gentle and he approved all visas to the people before me.

Here are my set of questions. He interviewed me for almost 10 mins as it was a 2nd time application.

L1A or B?
What is your salary in India?
What will be your salary in US?
So you are applying for the 2nd time. So it may take some time. (here I was a bit nervous, I thought even this time he will return my passport and will ask me to come later. He was reading the screen and was smiling a little).
What does your company xx do?
What is your area of expertise?
What does the technology it do?
Who are your clients?
Any client who has used this?
Will you be working at the client place?
Where will you be working from?
Were you part of the development of team?
Why cant the client develop it?

All the time the VO was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood. And that made me more confident and answer more confidently.
And finally he said, OK I am clear. Your visa is approved (Oh my god I was so happy).

Unlike my previous encounter where I thought the VO was very much made up his mind, I feel this is more of luck than anything else.
My advise: Keep it simple and point to your area of expertise where you are comfortable. Don't over prepare yourself and don't lie. Just go with a mindset that you won't get through, what worse can happen.
