A big thank you for all the members especially the GURUs, for clarifying and giving confidence for my ILR application.
My experience given below

Entered UK on 1st Aug 2009.

Absence letter from previous employer (around 120 days total in 5 years, no absence with current employer)
Life in UK

It was a busy day, Went in @ 1:35 PM, took around 1 hour for Token, Regn and Biometrics and 1.5 hrs for processing.
No questions asked
Few things to note...
1) I applied 23 days before initial Visa stamp date since I first entered UK with in 90 days of stamp date although current visa is valid for 2 more years.
2) I had 2 entry clearances in qualifying period with a gap of 85 days (spent in India). Second clearance was issued while the first clearance was still valid. The absence letter covered this gap and confirmed that i was paid in UK in the gap period.
